We don’t take the doors off
Hey! It’s Jessie again with a farm story. : ) So, I know over the years I’ve told a lot of angry mama cow stories, and those stories have kind of slowed down this year, mostly because of the ranch horses we have. With our more aggressive cows, Pie takes her horse down, and they […]
I go riding…
here is something I wrote in September of 2021: All right, I promised I was going to tell you what has been going on with me. Some of you are like family to me and have suspected that there was something going on. I wanted to tell you, but…let me start with a little story. […]
Today is a special day for me.
We are gearing up for spring calving season here on the farm. We’re making sure we have some frozen and ready-mix colostrum, as well as ear tags and bands. For those of you who are new – I LOVE calving season! Watching a birth is new and amazing to me every time, and seeing the […]
A Sweet Note for All of You
I always get great feedback from authors who are in my newsletter about you all, but this week I got the nicest note thanking me for what you all did, and I ask the author if she’d like to thank you herself. She definitely wanted to and also wanted to offer you something, so here […]
Moms & Grandmas
Before Christmas I did something a little crazy. I bought four draft horses for myself, three old Belgian mares and a Percheron. Draft horses are the big, heavy work horses you see hitched to Amish plows and doing field work. I’ve always loved drafts, maybe because they’re so big and powerful, but also usually very […]
Happy New Year!
Wow! I was so blessed by all of your emails to me about reading the Bible through last year. What a joy to know so many people are in the Word. Of course, some of you read it slower, in smaller chunks, and that’s totally fine, and some of you copy it out by hand, […]
How was your 2022?
I wanted to pause for a minute and thank you all for a wonderful 2022! I’ve seen a lot of authors recapping their year in books, and that’s always fun, and I do have a graphic of mine, but for sure, reading The Book – God’s Word – through means more to me than how […]
What I’ve been up to this morning
I don’t really have a farm story from this morning, but so far, I’ve broken ice in several water troughs (we don’t have trough heaters here in Virginia), fed my bottle babies, and helped Pie move a calf who came to us with her mom a month ago, but her mother died. Pie was taking […]
Jessie answers your questions
I hope you all had a joyous Christmas and were able to stay warm and comfy. : ) We had a mostly quiet weekend. We dealt with the cold like everyone else, with a few frozen lines and some equipment that wouldn’t start and fun stuff like that. We didn’t lose any animals, even the […]
Mischief at the poles…
The election is long over, but I thought I’d put a story in I told about my boys a couple years ago. I’ve mentioned before that I talk politics with my kids. We have lively, friendly discussions, and I love that they can back up their opinions and beliefs with facts and common sense. Last […]
