Breaking News!



The culprits of the early morning explosions on Fair-View Farm (FVF) have been located. According to the farm’s news reporter, residents of the farm house and neighbors were awakened at 5:10AM to a string of explosions. BANG,--- BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG.  A witness of the event said that there was the sound of running footsteps on the driveway just before the explosions. Upon investigation the explosions have been determined to be from a whole package of firecrackers. Shortly after this incident, which was followed by several other firecrackers, the two teenage minors responsible for all this noise were located in the barn setting up for the morning milking. The minors, whose names will not be released, were chipper as all get out and had started chores. They informed another resident who appeared on the scene that they hoped they had awakened her early enough to make pancakes for breakfast.

 FVF’s neighbor to the south also heard the explosion but didn’t seem to be disturbed by it as the communication from her was cheerful in nature.  However, FVF’s residents had varying responses as they showed up for morning chores, and most looked rather tired.  

Residents of FVF are not expected to press any charges. They understand that the teens were only having fun and enjoying the 4th of July; and as they will be making hay later today, they felt the need to start the celebration early.   The reporter said that firecrackers are the main source of celebration of this holiday on the farm. Currently there is a slight smell of gunpowder outside, but that is expected to clear up in the near future. 

Finally, the reporter said that neighbors should expect explosions throughout the remainder of the day. A FVF resident bought a large brick of firecrackers and a few other explosives and is sharing them.

 I'm off to make pancakes (and pork links and eggs).... ðŸ˜Š  Hope you all have a great day!

Happy Independence Day!! 
We are so grateful for the freedom we enjoy here in the USA!

A Spring Get-Away

We had a great trip this past weekend. Our family was able to get away for a few days before everything gets really busy on the farm. We headed south to the state of Missouri, and it was really fun to see tall green grass and trees fully leafed out, but then hard to come home to cooler weather, bare trees and brown. But spring is on it's way here too, right? (As I write this, it's cold outside and it's snowing- Can I go back to MO?) Enjoy some snapshots of the trip. The Laura Ingalls Wilder cabin near Pepin WI. I've always enjoyed her books and it was interesting to see just how small the "little house in the big woods" was. Only now it's surrounded by fields and cleared land. Not very big is it?! We made a stop at Bass Pro Shop near Des Moines (a city that was incorrectly pronounced for fun the entire trip). This was probably Silas' favorite part of the trip. He loved it and could have spent hours there.... however some of us were ready to ...

Montana 2024

   For our family trip this year we went to Montana! We took lots of pictures and I am finally getting some shared with you. Enjoy! On the way out, we stopped to see the North Dakota badlands in Teddy Roosevelt National Park.     The first night we camped at a campground on the East edge of Glacier National Park. The next day, we made our way through the park. Then we crossed the 560' Hungry Horse Dam and camped on the reservoir. The next day we went for a hike. Huckleberries!! The mountainside was covered in huckleberries and we had a lot of fun picking some to bring home. We went back to the East side of the mountains to camp that night, then hiked part way up the mountain the next morning before heading for home.
