When the cows are full of p**s & vinegar after being caught outside their pasture.

Came home from doing errands to find the cows "Livin' their best life" in the hayfields.

“When your mama cow gets the Memo 📝”

We had been waiting, waiting, & waiting for another calf to be born. This mama cow had looked ready for several long days before she finally delivered this bull calf.

Over Memorial Day weekend, I made the comment, “Maybe she’ll hold out & give us a Memorial Day calf, and we can name it ‘Memo’ for short.”

Well, darned if that mama didn’t do just that! We woke up to find she had delivered her calf in the early morning hours of Memorial Day.

Sorry this post is a couple days late, but here is “Memo” — our Memorial Day 2026 calf. ♥️ 🤍 💙

Happy Memorial Day! 🇱🇷

Did anyone else hear a loud explosion 💥 about 10 minutes ago now? We looked outside but didn't see any smoke or flames. And no storms in the vicinity on radar.

Went to the town wide yard sales yesterday afternoon with most of my kiddos. Didn't really find too much but there was one sale that I got quite a bit of new items to utilize this growing season for the farm! Can't wait to start utilizing them and having them to offer as a gift in addition to one of my favorite hobbies 💐 !

Also caught up on laundry & did some shopping 🛍️ at the DG with my husband. They had a $10 off $40 deal & some crazy digital/manufacturing coupons & in-store discounts/promotions! One transaction was close to $90 and once all discounts, etc applied plus the $10 off--my out of pocket cost was $30+. Insane! My husband was a bit perplexed 🤔 and couldn't believe the price difference!

I used to do couponing several years ago and got away from it. Lately, idk it showed up on my FB feed and I got suckered back in. Now, I don't go overboard and buy things that I don't need in excess or have shelves stocked like a crazy couponer, but I do have to say I love saving where I can, when I can. Everything is so ridiculously overpriced!

Tomorrow we plan to work on getting the gardens prepared for the upcoming growing season. Yes, we could have some things started but we haven't yet besides some bulbs I've planted for my flower gardens. Also just planning on fixing, cleaning, having a solid working day outside completing needed things and maybe some 🐎-ing around.

🌱 Grow with Us Program Update 🌱

Over the weekend, we secured a wide variety of plants from local Amish greenhouses. While we don’t have the capacity to start this volume of plants ourselves, we’re proud to support local families and their businesses.

As the plants adjust to their new environment, some are showing signs of shock. They’re currently being cared for in our shop, though it’s a different setting compared to the warmth and comfort of the greenhouses they came from.

We’re keeping a close eye on them and giving them the care they need as they settle in. Stay tuned for more updates as they continue to grow!

"When the hunter becomes the hunted.”

Before leaving for work this morning, I glanced out the kitchen window while gathering my things and spotted a light-colored animal beyond our back pasture. At first, I thought it was Willow, our yellow lab—but I’d just seen her moments earlier.

So I kept watching.

The animal started to move casually along the fence line, in a sneaky trot exploring his surroundings & looking for its next prey. I knew exactly what it was.

I ran to the gun cabinet, punched in the code—nothing. Battery missing--Of course. I scrambled for the keys, came up empty, and rushed into our bedroom. I abruptly woke my husband, who was fast asleep and asked for the gun safe keys. Without hesitation, he got out of bed finding the keys from their safe keep, handed them over, not even asking why.

Back to the safe-Unlocked. I scrambled to find ammo, a gun and a clip. My camo synthetic stock .30-06 Savage was in the front—a gun I’m not too fond of because it kicks like a mule. But, I had that ammo readily in front of me & a moving target.

By the time I got the gun loaded, the coyote was gone.

So I tried calling it in—making injured rabbit noises. Moments later, it slipped under the spring gate and started charging toward the house. It had no idea the situation had changed—desperately thinking about the easy meal.

First shot. It bolted across the first paddock, ducked under the water trough opening, and into the second. I thought to myself, 'I missed' as I was reloading.

It paused for just a second before trotting on. I started again with the rabbit noises.

It stopped—broadside.

Second shot.

Dropped.

I secured the rifle back to the safe, told my husband, “It’s down in the pasture. Can you take care of it and send me a picture?”—and then I left for work.

About an hour later, my husband messaged me after all the kids left for school. The picture is attached below. "It has 3 holes." I only shot twice. So the initial shot was in the neck and the other 2 were the enter/exit to the chest broadside. I hadn't missed afterall.

Just another morning living on a farm and protecting our livestock.

Last Wednesday night-4/29/26-we did in fact go to Belknap! "It's the place to be on Wednesdays."

Bought 2 red duroc piggies! And a black 🐇.

No one took advantage of guessing our newest addition(s) to the farm. Bummer because we had a twist 🪢--we had planned on giving out multiple prizes.

Be on the look out for additional opportunities in the future. Thank you for following!
