Funeral info for Gramma Izzie

April 26, 2018 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

Gramma passed away on Wednesday morning before daylight.  I know I should post something about her, but I can't do it yet this soon after her dying. Everything I want to say seems like it's not enough, and none of it seems to say what I want to say. Eventually, I will write something about … Continue reading Funeral info for Gramma Izzie

TWO WERE BORN TODAY!!!

April 14, 2018April 14, 2018 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

Ted ran upstairs this morning, and he told me he could hear one of our cows carrying on down around the barn while he was stringing fence for the new pig pasture.

April 6, 2018 / strivingacres / 3 Comments

We watched a minute, and Jake said, "Awww, she's just poopin', Mom."  And she was...but as I stared intently at her rear end, I … Continue reading Gramma got her wish!!!

I’ve been quiet for a while…

April 3, 2018 / strivingacres / 2 Comments

It's hard to write anything right now. I want to do it; I take farm photos for posts, but then when I sit down to write the words, I feel like these are frivolous things to say and show to anyone.
