Greater love hath no man than this…
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. – John 15:13 Last week, we had a cow freshen the night before we wanted to rotate the cows out of the pasture. We do things a little oddly on our farm (I think that’s a trait that is […]
A Special Delivery
This week we had an equine vet come to preg check our horses. The girls had a great time watching as the vet did ultrasounds on each of our mares. We have four that are bred and due to foal sometime next year. The vet was very serious when she was talking to the girls, […]

My Tough Face
My youngest daughter, Pie, and I have been on the farm in Virginia by ourselves for a while. I mentioned last week we’re cooking and watching movies and working, of course. The apples on the tree in our yard are ready, and so before we go out to check the herds, we grab some and […]
