First thing you think of on the farm is animal bedding, and it’s definitely good for that. But, straw has a lot of uses, especially in the garden. It’s much better for mulching your flower beds for winter and summer because it doesn’t have the seeds hay has in it.
A gelding is a castrated male horse. Once after a vet had been to our place to castrate a couple of colts, I asked my father why the vet had been there. He replied, “Well, Sis, those young studs just had their minds changed for them.”
We’re going to attach forks to our tractor bucket so that we can lift the bales and feed them to the cows. It should save some time and labor for winter feeding.
It is so much fun to see the baby calves in the spring because they’re so cute. They look like little teddy bears bouncing around the field.
They make outstanding pie! I love their pie, and I’m really picky about pie. I could eat a whole banana cream or pumpkin from there. I really hope I am early enough in the morning to pick up a piece for breakfast.
Insurance is a very contentious subject locally in my town. With the fire last year our county has had so much loss of home and property that you can imagine we have had so many claims.
A dear friend was once away from Colorado in September, and was terribly homesick. He told me at one point that he would give his right arm to see and hear a pink “Quakie”. I know how he felt.
This summer we were happy with the addition of a snow cone booth. In the parking lot of the new bagel shop and dental office is Tropical Snow. They have a new summertime booth with yummy flavors. They have some amazing flavor combinations.
It is old but well maintained, clean and has flat screen TVs. They learned from their clientele that good TVs and reception are important. They have lots of people that come in at the same time every month or quarter.
This is a nice big building. A gymnasium for ball sports, exercise rooms, community rooms for puzzles and card games and a pool out back. They have craft classes, scrapbooking groups, aerobics and yoga. You can join a bridge, pinochle, mahjong, cribbage or chess game any afternoon.
