Happy Labor Day!

IMG_0358

Although so nice, our weekend went too fast. As I sit here trying to get ready to go to work, I feel it was a blur. Here it is in pictures… We had mouthy ducks before we left. It seems they now sit outside the kitchen quacking until they get food or attention. Or both. [...]

Rosie’s Pit Crew- Pre-trip Inspection

IMG_9766

While getting ready to head out this week I found our herd of ducks doing my Pre-trip Inspection for me! Really, I think they were more enamored with the “shiny” objects, but it sure looked like they were checking Rosie over before I headed out! Safety first!

Flora & Fauna

Babies! This year, I think we have more weeds than flowers. Luckily though my Cosmos and sunflowers are doing great! The ducks are still changing. For sure we have one drake mallard. The rest are changing too, I’m just not sure into what as of yet! The hens are doing well…. Ugly Betty disappeared again [...]

When Life Gives you Lemons

Make Grilled Tuscan Lemon Chicken! This is my absolute favorite meal I’ve made in I don’t know how long. Although, most of my meals I make are a favorite in one way or another, this chicken turned out so moist and juicy, I’m thinking I will never make another kind of grilled chicken again! This [...]

Summer Fun

I have been so busy this summer! I hope you too have been enjoying all the fun things summer has to offer! You have probably noticed when I’m not trucking, I’m home. We don’t really run too much. I guess because we spend our week behind the wheel, and of coarse we have a beautiful [...]

Meet Kassys Dream. Kassy for short. We went for a pretty good ride on Tuesday. One of the hottest days we’ve had this summer… Kassy did great. Me on the other hand, I was pretty happy to come home and lay on the couch in the air conditioning thinking I needed my head examined! She’s [...]

Not all It’s Cracked UP To Be

IMG_5390

After the hog incident last week I thought I would share this part of living in southwestern Minnesota. I wrote this post on April 26th. I’ve since calmed down and cleaned up the language. It was pretty hateful at the time. It’s still written in past tense, but you should get the picture. Living in [...]

Read At Your Own Risk- Factory Farming

@Socks Pig_228x200

The pictures below are not nice. I just want to forewarn you before you look. I ran to town yesterday to get groceries since my parents are coming down for the weekend. On my way home I thought I would take the back roads and have an enjoyable ride. What I came upon made me [...]

Duck, Duck, Horse

dk1

The ducks are learning that if they come to the house they get fed good food. Last weekend we had fresh corn on the cob. I shucked the corn off the deck. Within minutes the ducks were interested in what I was doing. Not too long after that, we had Rollie Fingers in our back [...]

Farm Life Woes

betty

Meet Ugly Betty. She’s not really ugly, but every year- sometimes twice a year she goes broody. And then she gets ugly. Not mean ugly. Actually I don’t think she has a mean bone in her body. She does though, puff up like a turkey and shriek at us when she knows we are going [...]
