Yesterday was a sad day here on the farm. The owners of the horses here had sold them off to a stable in Orange, MA. I was stocking up the farm stand when the trailer came for the boys. My two horse friends were picked up and are now gone. The...

As of yesterday, there are just 3 months left until opening day of the 7th season here at our southeast Nebraska pumpkin patch! I can't believe how fast time can fly. We've been very busy on the farm and finally got all our pumpkins, squash...

I am sure this farm does not run like a well-oiled machine.
Matter of fact there seems to be only one thing that every species of animal
agrees on around here. Can you guess what that is? That is right F-O-O-D. It

It's Christmas Eve again. One of the most blessed, miraculous times. Since I was a child, I've believed that the animals speak, by the Grace of God, on Christmas Eve. They celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ........

Confused? I sure am. The tomorrow that I put off a few yesterdays ago is now here. That means the to-do list I didn't tend to is still there as well. I couldn't sleep last night as thoughts of chores whirled in my mind. I fought...
