Checkin' in on the animals

            

Do these cows look like they are behaving?  No, some milking cows decided that they wanted a tour of the farm.  So they trotted around awhile, with their udders swinging back and forth, until the farmers ran them back in the barn. Whew!

Now here are some animals that look like they are under control!  The girls are on their way for a horse back ride on the farm.

This bull wishes he could be out and about!

Just another day on the farm!

                                           

Hitting the target!

Here is my farmer's first kill with his crossbow.  Congratulations!

Deer huntin' with my dear

I can't believe it!  My farmer asked me to go deer hunting with him!  How could I turn him down?  So I heaved a sigh and put on some warm clothes; trying to be camouflaged the best that I could. ( see pic) 
We drove the truck to the back of the farm and hid it.  Then we walked a little ways to the fence line where there were trees and bushes.  I was out of breath by the time we got there (not from excitement mind you, but because I'm so out of shape).  I could feel the excitement building up from my farmer though.  He was walking faster and faster to get there.  We found us a hiding place and settled in to wait.  It was great!  No wonder these guys like hunting so much!  I could hear the birds singing, crickets and frogs joining in, and the smell of the woods was wonderful! Not to mention how awesome the sunset was.  There was a little extra excitement when a mouse suddenly dropped from a tree and scrambled back up a branch right in front of us!  He had such big googly eyes!  Well, when it got too dark to hunt, we came out from our hiding place, and what did our eyes behold?.....you guessed it!  8 or 9 doe were waving their little white flags at us as they loped across the alfalfa field in plain view!
You might ask me, would you go hunting again?....my answer would be ......

"in a heartbeat!"

Karl is much more fashionable than I am.  At least I stayed warm!

Hunting sight

....."you see Him in the wilderness out there! I love to hunt. I do that just to get out,

not to kill the game, but just to be in the woods."

Oh deer!

My farmers are ready for deer season!  Bow season started today, so it's time to control the deer population on our farm.  They have been feasting on our crops and getting quite fat on our cow feed.  We've had alot of deer damage in our corn and alfalfa fields this year.  Nathan has had his eyes on a nice buck that he's seen several times in the fields.  Karl is going to try his hand at cross-bow hunting this year.  Their target shooting was pretty good so hopefully they run across a live target this season.

"Hunting means to get alone to yourself to pray."

Happy Birthday to another Farmer's Wife

Today is my farmer's mother's 70th birthday!

We love her and thank God for such a wonderful mother and grandmother.   She raised her five children here on the farm and worked hard with her "farmer" husband. 

Her life is a true example of a Godly woman.

Happy Birthday to a "farmer's wife"!

GOT MILK?

You would think that since we live on a dairy farm that we would never have to ask that question. (Got Milk?) But, there have been times when the milk truck came for a pick-up and that's when we realized that our milk jug was empty.  When the milk truck comes, he empties the tank, so we would have to wait until the next milking to get milk.

 I've been in the middle of a recipe that calls for a cup of milk and when I opened the fridge door..........."Who put the milk jug away empty!"

The milk jug had better not be empty when I make homemade cookies or the farmer might get a little upset. :)

It's so simple to get milk here.  No, I don't have to go milk a cow (someone else did).  We just go out to the milk house and turn a spigot and out comes fresh, bubbly, milk. 

I volunteered Hannah to get milk for me this morning since I noticed the other jug was almost empty. 

How about at your house.............GOT MILK?

Happy Birthday to my Farmer!

Today is my farmer's birthday!  We celebrated with a meal of shake n' bake chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, homemade rolls, and salad.  For dessert he wanted pies instead of cake so I made him a blueberry pie and an apple pie.  I am so thankful to be married to a such a wonderful person!

Bro. Branham preached a sermon called "Thirst"  on Karl's birthday. Click HERE to hear it.

Do you have a "birthday" sermon?
