Super Sunday

February 2, 2020 Mandi Musick

HELLO FEBRUARY Whew y'all....what a crazy start to 2020. January always feels like THE longest month of the entire year. This new decade kept that streak going. Anyone else also feel like time stops moving during those first 31 days? I have very few hours at my disposal to be active on the Farm right… Continue reading Super Sunday

Summer Fling

August 29, 2019August 29, 2019 Mandi Musick

Is it just me or did it seem like it took F O R E V E R for summer to arrive and now she is already heading for the hills?  Summer is one of my most loved times of year even when she's so dang hot and humid I can't breathe.  It's such a… Continue reading Summer Fling

Daily Planner

June 3, 2019June 3, 2019 Mandi Musick

For years I carried a daily planner around in my purse. Bound paper & pen, not something digital. And still to this day I don't look down at my phone when scheduling events, instead I have to go home and look at the calendar hanging on the wall. There's lots of things I didn't plan… Continue reading Daily Planner

For the Love of Beef

May 11, 2019May 16, 2019 Mandi Musick

May is Beef Month and if you know me then you know I LOVE cows and am also pretty passionate about my love for food.  More specifically our own farm raised meat and veggies. Fun facts (or funny to me anyway): I grew up on a farm and dreamed of getting away from it I… Continue reading For the Love of Beef

Momma Always Said

March 31, 2019May 1, 2019 Mandi Musick

A few weekends ago was the beginning of Daylight saving time for us.  Usually we go ahead and set our clocks ahead early in the evening.  This year Tom and I both set the clocks ahead an hour early.  So in the mist of the confusion of who did what and when and what time… Continue reading Momma Always Said

In just a week’s time morning’s song on the farm changed tunes and the birds started singing promises of Spring 🙌🏻 I’m absolutely ready for more sunshine and longer days. Happy Saturday friends 🖤
I never knew being a Farmer’s wife would involve so much talking & conversating, and decision making. It’s constant and sometimes maddening and I will tell Tom I literally can’t use my brain and make any more decisions. And he ignores me and we keep discussing and making decisions together and talking things out. We have to talk soooo much from seed, to feed, from livestock to deadstock, from Farm to table, to the markets, and soil testing and pasture regeneration, farm restoration, to gardening, bee keeping, orchard growing, and to equipment purchases, selling & to producing, and growing, and building...to all our dreams still hanging on every year. That’s what we do in our marriage, and on our farm. We are spouses but also co-workers, employers & employees of each other and also business owners together. If we can’t communicate it doesn’t work. I’m extremely thankful the Farm and animals taught us how to figure all that nitty gritty stuff out. It’s made this hard journey easier. 🖤
For the last couple of months this gal has trekked from the barn to the farmhouse front porch to lay an egg almost every day, in the snow, in the rain and mud too. I applauded her commitment every time I saw her! But the line has been drawn this week with negative temps and blizzard like conditions. So she set up a new spot in an identical metal planter in the barn, except it’s full of crinkly feed sacks I keep forgetting to throw away. Today she let me know she is definitely not a happy camper and needs me to switch up the decor pronto until the weather changes again next week. 🖤 When did I start letting chickens boss me around so easily? 🤣
I really love that old red barn surrounded by snow 🖤❄️
There have been a couple sweet surprises on the farm so far this year. But there have been several losses as well. With livestock the two go hand in hand. Winter can be a harsh reminder. Little miss Jody was born 4 weeks ago and is quite the character to say the least. The laughter she has brought me has been a nice dose of medicine. She’s cute as a button but don’t turn your back on her! 🎀 Winter’s bitter cold snap is here, as it is for many of you as well. Prayers as you battle Mother Nature or whatever current season life is throwing at you this week! You’ve got this friend! 🖤
The itch to incubate eggs is driving me crazy this Winter! (Adds 2nd incubator to wish list 🙋🏼‍♀️🤫)
