Celebrating Abundant Life

The Family Meeting - Ashleigh

9/20/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
Every morning (if possible) Dad gets the whiteboard and the marker and we all sit down after a refreshing morning milk drink and talk about what the projects are for that day. We also cross off items that have been done the day before. Sometimes we have a fire going since it is cold in the morning at seven o clock. The meeting generally takes between ten to forty five minutes.

Artificially Inseminating Delight

9/20/2018

0 Comments

 
During the night on the 18th, Delight came into heat. In the morning of the 19th, we called an AI guy and asked if he would come AI her. He said he would come, around 7:00 p.m. He came, it was fast and easy, and now, hopefully we will have pretty much half Angus, half Hereford calf around June next year! We are excited. (We didn't take any pictures because it was too dark.)

Barn Preparation for Delight - Courage

9/16/2018

Picture
 Mom, Isaiah, Kellen and I set to work clearing out a small portion of the  old milking parlor part of the barn, making room for our cow. These are both "after" pictures of the milking parlor part. Before, there was some re-bar and junk and halters and sinks and horse-shoes in this small section of the barn. Now  it is removed or pushed over and all we need to do is put a barrier in front of the hay and something to block Delight from the other part of the milking parlor.

The Fort in the tree - Ashleigh

9/11/2018

0 Comments

 
Isaiah and Kellen have long wished to have a fort in the tree adjacent to the shed. Isaiah started on his, but one day Dad and our friend Scott decided to help build it. Dad helped Isaiah build his and Scott helped Kellen with his fort. And now, two cool, awesome forts have their place in the tree, much to the satisfaction of all the kids.

Speckles - Courage

We went to a farm outside of St. Johns, a little town in Washington, to buy a trailer. We kids were petting one of the nice cats they had there, and since they had said they had a lot of cats, we decided to ask if we could get one. They said sure! They gave her to us for free. We call her Speckles. We are keeping her in this cage for a couple days until we are pretty sure that she won't run off as soon as we let her out! She is getting petted a lot and getting fed raw meat.

A Bedroom in Use - Ashleigh

9/5/2018

0 Comments

 
Sleeping on the trampoline has been fun but it is getting a little cold. Clear one room in the house, bring some cots and blankets, and viola, a bedroom in the house has been put to use. It will be so much warmer, as the dew will not take our body heat away, and it will be fun to sleep in the house for the first time. The picture to the right is before the clearing, the bottom picture is after.

Framing the Bathroom - Courage

9/4/2018

With almost all of the under-the-house work done, Dad, Mom and the older kids decided to do a little bit of framing before going under the house and putting up a beam. Also, it precedes electrical and plumbing. On Tuesday the 4th, I and Mom and the toddlers went home until 1:30 p.m. while Dad and the three other kids framed almost the entire future bathroom. Ashleigh and Isaiah and Kellen had fun being Dad's main helpers instead of Mom, and it was an altogether nice change from digging and putting up beams under the house.

A Feeder for Delight - Ashleigh

9/3/2018

1 Comment

 
We got some alfalfa hay, and throwing it on the ground for Delight meant she stepped on it and fertilized it. So Mom and I took an old bathtub down there and put the hay in it. With her head she threw it out, making no improvement. Dad then determined to make a feeder so that she could not throw it with her head. On top of the bathtub he built the structure, with sheet metal on top to keep the rain off, and she now cannot throw the hay out.
