Around the Farm 2023

Hello! This is Grace taking a turn with the blog. I really enjoyed taking pictures this year as I was working around the farm so I thought I would share some of them. I am so grateful to be able to work in God's creation every day and see the beauty of His creation. These pictures are a combination of scenery, plants, animals, and a few other things that will give you a glimpse of my life. This post is long, but I hope you enjoy it!



Making plans for the year.

The spiders were hard at work in early May. They had the entire pasture covered like this.

 
 
The Cows don't mind the Cowbirds.

You can't see the dogs, but Sylvester got treed. 😊


 
 

Jack in the Pulpit






My primary mode of transportation in the summer along with some awesome pasture.

The Cowbirds follow the cows in large flocks and help control flies.










Barn Swallows

Killdeer nest

This cow had 3 calves sucking on her and was content as could be.


I had fun taking pictures of clouds this summer.







Our pigs have a good life.



Not sure what this Blue Heron was doing there...











This Porcupine was in the middle of the road and didn't like it when I drove around him.




Nothing is more fun than chasing cats.

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.

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.
