Fall will never quite be/feel the way it did growing up in upstate New York. I always miss home the most this time of year. But tonight is lovely, with noticeably cooler temperatures and a refreshing breeze. After several very hot and humid months, the current 77 degrees almosts feels like it’s teasing me with sweater weather. 😆🍁

I’ve planted most of my beds with fall vegetables but I’m probably the most excited about these. It’s my first time growing mustard greens from seed, and the rows are popping up! 🌱

In a week or two, I’ll have the very tedious job of thinning them out, but it’ll be worth it. There’s just something about food you’ve grown yourself (and put a work) into that makes it taste even better. 💚

🐝 🥾

Have a bunch of errands and appointments today, with farm and garden chores mixed in, so I’m dressing accordingly. I went to put on my (favorite) work boots and was embarrassed to go out in public with them looking so dirty. Then I remembered my homemade beeswax leather conditioner…. it worked perfectly.

Yet one more product I’ll never have to buy again. Even better? It’s homemade, organic, and nontoxic.

Good Morning!

I have a couple of milk monsters over here! They down their bottles and still want more …. they chase me for extra milk. Ginny is the worst…she is still tiny but mighty and bumps my backside. I couldn’t film it bc she was literally pushing me from behind haha It’s fun for now but when they get older (bigger) it might not be. Time to order steel toe boots. 😳😆 🐮

Happy Tuesday! ☀️

This morning is about as close to perfect as it gets. I’ve been working in the garden with a gentle breeze and listening yo wild birdsong. The farmstead is so calm and peaceful right now. It certainly isn’t always this way, so I never take these moments for granted! ❤️

I have much to tackle on my to-do list so need to get to getting but just wanted to wish everyone a great day! 😊

Breakfast in Barn Service… because, ya know, only the best for my farm babies.

Just a little Maggie progress update. If you’re sick of my baby cow posts, keep scrolling now . 😂

She is 7.5 weeks old and growing quickly. I’ve had to up her feedings and she loves munching on her pasture grass throughout the day. I also have her (and the younger ones) on quality calf pellets, starter creep, loose minerals and always 24-7 access to water. I’ll need to start weaning her in in a couple of weeks as most calves are off bottles by 10-12 weeks.

Maggie moos at the little ones often (I let them free roam on days when I am here) and know she’ll be happier once they join her. At the rate the little ones are starting to grow, it shouldn’t be much longer. I have a farm vet visit coming up so waiting on that before the transition.

Anyhow, she’s doing great!😊

If only pestering were a paid profession… Thad would be bringing in a very healthy supplemental farm income. 😂🫏

So glad I was in the back forty tonight to witness this beautiful sunset over the neighboring farm field. 🧡 🤩 🌅
