We've been so busy these last couple of weeks. I think about going on the computer, then think of 700 other things that I need to do. I also haven't been feeling very inspired to write lately, so sorry. Here's what we've been doing, though.
1. Matt was seeding and finished all the fields with no significant breakdowns.
2. The cows got out. Like three or four times.
3. We've been hauling cow/calf pairs out to pasture. We've done about 170 pairs so far (I think)....at least 50 more to go.
Hauling pairs is fun....most of the time. Matt and I walk the pairs up together, or he manages to do it by himself if I'm busy with the kids. Then we get them into the barn and into the chute. We give shots, write down cow numbers, which pasture they're going to, make sure each cow has an eartag in each ear, and load them up. We do the same for the calves - make sure they match up with the cows, give them shots, and load them up. Clarence has really gotten good at herding the calves. He'll work on getting them into the chute while Matt switches trailers. Usually he can get them all in by himself. It's really so cute to watch. He'll chase them around, yelling, "C'mon, calves, get in the chute, calves...." in a drawly cowboy voice. It makes me smile every time. Then, once everything's loaded up, we head to whichever pasture the cows are going to. Most of the pastures are close to home, but my pasture is 13 miles away, so it usually takes about an hour to make a load. (Just so you know, when we haul pairs out, we get 11 cows in Matt's big trailer and 11 calves in my little trailer. If we use just the big trailer, we can do about 8 pairs....it's slow going, but every cow off the farm is progress!)
4. Mark P. came over two weeks ago and started my addition. He and Matt have: put in subfloors; put up the walls; put plywood on the outside walls; put the rafters on; put the plywood on the rafters; and are shingling the roof today and tomorrow. They've made a lot of progress in the last two weeks, considering everything else we've had going on.
5. Baby Harley was baptized. Matt and I are the proud godparents. We love him so much!
6. We celebrated my Grandma Muriel's 80th birthday a few weekends ago. We had a lot of fun visiting everyone and helping her celebrate. We had pie and coffee with her friends at the Caribou Grill; the next day, we served coffee hour at her church, then had a potluck at her house after church. It was a fun, busy weekend.
7. Ruby had two puppies. A boy and a girl. She's such a good mommy. They look like fat, solid little logs. They don't have their eyes open yet, but I'm thinking that'll come soon. They'll be two weeks old on Friday. Clarence loves them so much. He makes sure he goes and visits them a few times a day. I love to watch him with the puppies - it's the only time he's really and truly GENTLE!
8. Matt's brother, Mike, came home for a visit. He'll be up until Friday. He came last week and helped put the rafters up and visit with his brothers. Sunday, we went to Roseau to celebrate a whole bunch of birthdays and visit the family.
9. Matt turned 26 on Sunday. He's getting old. :)
10. Today when we got home from hauling out our load of cows, Clarence hopped out of the pickup to hurry and get on with life. Adina was going to follow him, but instead she nose-dived and hit the road with her face. Half of her face is red and a little puffy, but thankfully, that's all that she was hurt. She really scared me; she landed only a few inches from a huge rock in the road that would've really hurt her, I think.
11. Clarence has been busy bringing sticks and wood scraps to our new fire pit down by the river. He has a new love for bonfires. He'll sit and gather wood for an hour and haul it down for the fire. Tonight, he and Uncle Mark are going to camp out in Mark's tent after we have a fun little bonfire.
Clarence is also my 'official egg gatherer'. He takes this job very seriously. About 7 times a day, he'll come find me with a big grin on his face, and hold up his hands, show me the eggs and say, "I found more eggs, Mom." He loves that job....I'm very thankful for that, because I don't love that job! :)
12. It froze here last night. My two whiskey barrels full of flowers are withered and wilted. I think I need to make another trip to the greenhouse.
Hope you've been doing swell. :)

Yesterday: Clarence's Daily
This was our conversation on the way home from the farm we went to to pick up the seed tender, semi, and chisel plow. Matt took Adina home in the semi. I took Clarence home with me in the tractor. It was great one-on-one time for each of us.
C: That pasture have weeds, Mom?
Me: Yep.
C: Cows no yike weeds, Mom.
Me: I'm sure they'll just eat around them.
C: (silent for 1/4 mile, until we reach the next pasture) Any weeds in that pasture, Mom. (Meaning there are no weeds.)
Me: Okay.
C: Cows yike that pasture,Mom.
C: Any cows in that pasture, Mom?
Me: I don't know - the fence doesn't look very good - probably not.
C: Weeds in that pasture, Mom.
Me: I know.
C: Cows no yike weeds.
Me: Don't they?
C: No. They just yike grass.
Me: Oh, I see. (There's no point in arguing with a three-year old!)
(We're driving on, past pasture after pasture...the ever-observant Clarence sitting right beside me taking EVERYTHING in)
C: Mom, cattails!
Me: Yep, I see them.
C: Weeds in that pasture, Mom!
Me: Yep.
C: Cows no yike weeds, Mom.
Me: I know. I'm sure they'll just eat around those weeds. There's green grass growing underneath, see?
C: Yah, but cows no yike the old grass.
C: Mom, cows no in that pasture. Weeds in that pasture. Trees in that pasture. Cows no yike weeds and trees.
Me: Cows don't mind the trees, Clarence. Remember down at the Vagle pasture? There's a lot of trees there. I'm sure the cows just eat all the grass in the trees, too.
C: Oh.
(I won't keep writing our never-ending conversation - but this is what we talked about for a good 40 minutes in the tractor....)
C: Mom, I see cows.
Me: Those are Danny Lyberg's cows.
C: Danny Yiberg's cows?
Me: Yep.
C: His cows no yike weeds.
Me: I know, Clarence.
(Driving down the road some more.)
C: Mom, more cows! Those Danny Yiberg's cows?
Me: Yep, those are his.
C: Weeds in that pasture, Mom?
Me: Yep, probably, but I'm sure the cows just eat around them.
C: Mom, wooornge cows (orangeish/reddish cows)!
Me: I see them.
C: I yove woornge cows.
Me: I know.
C: Weeds in that pasture, Mom.
Me: Yes, Clarence, I see them.
C: Cows no yike weeds.
Just so all of you know, according to Clarence, COWS DON'T LIKE WEEDS! I learned a lot driving in the tractor with him yesterday, as I'm sure you have by reading this! He's a "rancher" through and through!

So Little Time
So much to do, so little time.
That saying is so true! Matt's been seeding this week. So far, things are going well. He finished seeding corn this morning. We're seeding corn to feed our calves this winter. We'll grind it this fall and haul it into the yard, then pack it in a huge pile and feed it to our calves all winter. If the crop turns out well, though, we might combine some and stick it in the bin and bale the stalks. That's what we did last year. We're hoping to chop it for silage this year, though, because we've heard there might be a limited supply of beet pulp we'll have access to.
Anyway, Matt's going to start seeding soybeans this afternoon. Then the oats in a couple days. The kids and I were going to get up and head into Hallock this morning to go get garden seeds at the greenhouse. However, Clarence kept telling me how cold he was during breakfast; I took his temperature and he had a 101 fever. So I put in "Little House" for a bit. Then he was up and wanting to go outside. We went out to feed cows instead of actually playing. That way he can sit still in the tractor instead of running around. It took a while, but we successfully completed feeding the cows. I say successfully because we managed to finish without a SINGLE cow getting out!
Now the kids are napping. I'm hoping Clarence might be feeling a little better when he wakes up and we can head to the greenhouse then. We'll see, I guess.
Yesterday was quite cold, so the kids and I spent most of the morning in the house. I brought totes and totes up to the attic to store. It's not really a fun job. Most of the time, I gradually add more and more things into Clarence's room, then I decide I've had enough, and I deal with it. The thing about dealing with all the stuff is: I have to climb up a ladder in Clarence's closet, lift up a huge, heavy door, then one-by-one lift totes over my head and climb the ladder and bring it into the attic. Not to mention the fact that I had help. It took a little while, but we accomplished everything. We hauled about five totes, the high chair, and some random Christmas decorations I found in the bottom of Clarence's closet up there. Hopefully I won't have to repeat that for a while. :)
Then in the afternoon, we all hopped in the tractor with Matt for "family farming time". It was so much fun. :)
I'm kind of kidding...it was kinda fun, but long and hard to sit beside Matt on the wheel well holding a jumping child and trying not to knock the other one over (who was standing by the window).
We went up to a guy's farm about 10 miles north of us; Matt and his dad have bought some of this guy's equipment, so we're slowly trying to get it back to our house. Well, yesterday Matt wanted to get the seed tender so he can use it with the soybeans rather than filling the drills with 5-gallon buckets (like he's done the four previous years we've lived here). So the kids and I went with so I could drive the tractor home with a chisel plow and Matt could drive our semi home with the seed tender. The kids were very good and very cooperative.
My next post will be Clarence's daily from yesterday. It's about all the pastures we drive by going there and coming home.
Hope you're enjoying this splendid day!

Clarence's Daily
He's been singing a lot lately.
His number one song is Old McDonald.
His words:
Old Donnit had a farm,
Old Donnit had a faaarrrrmmmm,
Old Donnit had a farm.
There's no "E-I-E-I-O" or anything; he just repeats his version over and over.
It's very amusing!
____________________
He's loving his time outside these days. Every morning, and many times throughout the day, he heads to the chicken barn to find the latest egg and bring it to the house for me. He's so helpful!
The other day, we were hauling cows out to pasture, and Clarence got to help with the calves. (By the way, they're babies - he's not in danger.) Matt and I were working the cows, which were all locked in the chute in the barn. Clarence was busy chasing all the calves around the barn over and over. He'd get them locked in the back, then they'd get out, and he'd chase them around all over again. He managed to get them all the way into the chute by himself (I followed to be any assistance if he needed, but he didn't need me). He was so proud of himself! I was proud of him, too. He really wants to be helpful, and that's a way that he can be without getting hurt. :)
He was rewarded with a root beer float that evening, one of his favorite treats.

Sorry!
I apologize for the huge lack of pictures the last month and a half. My computer's really slow and it takes forever to download pictures, so instead of waiting, I just skip the picture part.
I'm hoping someday I'll get things squared away and get some fun summer pictures up. Until then, hope just writing and the occasional single picture is enough!

Rain, Rain, Come Our Way
We went for a drive last night to my pasture over by Lake Bronson. We really want to get the cows hauled out, but there's not really enough grass out there to keep the cows happy very long. So, Matt wants to keep them home a little longer and let the grass grow a little more.
We're in dire need of rain. Last Saturday, the forecast for our area said there was a chance of rain every day this week. The only rain we had was Wednesday, and it was only enough to calm the dust and wet the sidewalk.
The pond out at my pasture was what Matt wanted to check. If there was enough water in it, we'd maybe send the cows out. We drove right up to it; there was a bird standing in the middle of it. A small bird.
We have water tanks out there, but we were hoping not to have to turn them on right away. At least we have them to fall back on, though. I think of other farmers and ranchers in the area who only rely on ponds for their pastures. If we don't get a good dose of rain soon, the crops will be very thirsty, and the ponds are going to get pretty low.
The grass is growing great in my yard, though. It's almost ready to mow. There's even tons of dandelions all over; Clarence likes them, though. He picks them and brings me "flowers". He's a cute boy.
Hope you have a super day!
Pray we get a little rain soon.....the pastures really need it!

Night Owl
I saw this saying on pinterest just now. It pretty much describes my life.
And Matt's life.
Only he's better at getting up than me.
I get up with the kids, but I never get up before them, unless I have to sub or teach piano.
I hope to switch this around at some point in my life, hopefully sooner than later. I'd love to be a morning person who wakes up with the sun. That way, I can enjoy some quiet time and coffee BEFORE the kids wake up and liven my day.

The Vine and the Branches
I was visiting with my friend and pastor, Melodi, again this morning, and we were talking about the text for the Gospel reading on Sunday.
It 's from John 15:1-2, 5-8. 1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it, that it may bear more fruit. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch, and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this is My father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples."
I loved this text. It's so cut and dry. I just want to encourage anyone who reads this to use the gifts God has given you and live your life for God. Be a living branch on the vine, (one that uses your God-given gifts, is pruned and given more gifts), not one that dies and is burned!

Heading out to Pasture
It's beautiful today. It was beautiful yesterday, too.
I'm kind of tired today, though. Yesterday, Matt MADE me help him run up 30 pairs (cows with their calves) so we can start hauling them out to pasture. Just kidding, he didn't make me. I wanted to. I do enjoy helping with stuff like that. It's good exercise and makes me feel like I've helped accomplish something. Once we run all the pairs up into a pen, we have to run the cows through the chute, give each of them shots and wormer, make sure they have two eartags, and write down which pasture they're headed to. Then, we run all the calves through and do the same thing, making sure we've got all the right babies with their mamas. It's not fun to realize you're out on pasture and have a wrong animal.
The kids were helpful, as always.
Actually, we did most of the running of pairs up during their nap, and just ran in the house and checked on them once in a while. It's easier if we know they're safely sleeping and safe. Once they came outside, I helped Clarence put a square bale of hay into his wagon. He likes to feed cows by hand, so he brought the wagon up to the fence and fed the cows. Adina likes to help him and watch.
Today, we're going to start with the cows as soon as the kids get up. Matt's out working some fields, so as soon as he gets home, we're heading out. Until then, I'd better rest up!

I talked to my mom a couple days ago and she told me about a girl at the hospital she works with who tried the Sacred Heart Diet. I looked up the info on it and decided to try it. It's basically just a seven day cleanse. Here' the instructions in case you decide you might like to try it.

Make the Sacred Heart Soup
This recipe is adjustable with some flavor variations such as herbs and spices but consists of:- 2 large tins of canned tomato (stewed, diced or whole plum)
- Beef bullion to taste (a few small envelopes or teaspoons ought to do)
- Dry pack ofchicken noodle soup mix
- Bunch of celery chopped
- Green onions for flavor
- 2 cans of beans
- 1 bell pepper (green, red, orange or yellow)
- 2 lbs. of carrots
- Generous handful of chopped mushrooms
- Verities of vegetables
- 1/2 to 1/4 head of shredded cabbage
- Simmer until vegetables are soft but not squishy.
Step 1
Eat the soup and fruit on day one. Eat only these items but you can eat as much as you want. Drink only from the following list: black coffee, unsweetened juice , black tea and drink plenty of water. Do not add milk or sugar to coffee and tea. Any fruit is allowed except bananas.
Step 2
Eat vegetables and soup on day two. Eat as much soup as you want, drink plenty of water and eat lots of cooked and raw vegetables. Cook baked potato for your dinner with a little bit amount of butter.
Step 3
Enjoy soup and lots of fruit and vegetables on day three. Skip the potato but get yourself with lots of soup and try to drink six to eight glasses of water.
Step 4
