Shopped for my wife today. Tomorrow we celebrate 46 years married.
Went to Buchheit’s (farm store) to buy her a shirt and some heavy warm house socks.
Then called my daughter who makes jewelry at her home shop.
Sophisticated and country seems to keep us connected!

Kinda obvious but a reminder:
Luke 6:45 (NIV)
A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
Luke 6:45 (NIV)

While a student, in 76, at UW Madison, my dad and I were discussing management strategies on pasture and hay ground. I was all about yield, tons per acre and fertilizer applications. My dad said, “son why do you want to buy nitrogen?”
He would have loved this white clover and fescue field!

Beef Producers, It's Time to Speak Up

My daughter and son in law started a new beef herd. 45 Charolais and Red Angus heifers bred to Red Angus bulls.
They purchased my mom and dad’s house after they both passed away.
My dad loved it that my family loved these green hills and another generation continues that love!

I found a guy that provides an on farm, clean and detail vehicles service. He is working on a deckboat I want to sell.
He showed up in his custom low rider, set his shade tent up and cleaned the boat back to new!
The guy or gal service industry, that get things done, is a thing!

“The Rib Doctor” is a customer at Ponderosa Pay Ponds. He has been fishing since 5:30 AM and caught 3 nice catfish. He says this is “the spot” where he does his best praying!
When we have community fishing days he brings his grill and cooks for us.
What an awesome man!
