Our lives are centered around our farm.. if for no other reason than farm life pretty much takes a ton of time. Then because it is our income, our bread and butter, the bacon… or in our case beef.
Our entire family is a part of our farm chores, from driving tractors, to working on equipment, to feeding livestock and watering cows. We all get our hands in a little dirt and umm dung.
Each week I hope to bring you a look into our FarmLife…
Rainbow giving promise over an alfalfa field in our backyard.
Husband helping our neighbor/cousin harvest milo. Unloading into the grain cart while the grain cart unloads into the truck. Ready to send off to the elevator.
My little cow watering helper… asleep on the job.
Feeding the cows… should I mention that when the bull looked at me and grunted I ran into the electric fence? Oldest is helping cut the wrap off the bale so the cattle don’t get tangled in it or ingest it and die. The bull is the the white guy already chomping on the bale of hay. Those bales each weigh about 1500 LBS.
What would you like to see from our farm life?
mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person.
