It’s been below average temps this November- way too early!  But, we got most of our winterized projects done.  We still have to winterize the outdoor cattle water tank.  Now that the time has changed, it is dark so early that we can’t see to do anything until the weekend.  And, every weekend we have even more projects to do!  One of our cows started limping last weekend and we thought the worst until the vet said it was just an infected cut.  We were pretty worried- she is also pregnant.  This week we purchased a skid steer.  We need to smooth out the rough paddocks and driveway with it, and also use it to feed hay bales.  It’s been something we have been thinking of buying for a long time.  We got a pretty good deal on a used one.

The Wisconsin Gun-Deer season starts this Saturday!  Craig is excited because we’ve seen some big ones on our farm recently.  He got a nice 9 point buck with his bow a couple weeks ago.  Nice to finally see some deer around this year!  It’s different this year because our son, Dusty is in LA.   He’s unable to come home to hunt because he just started a job there.  He’s working as an Assistant Editor at a large production company called Framestore Studios.  A pretty cool job!   By the way- I am taking our other son, Cody along to visit Dusty in early December- while Craig stays home with the cows again!  Since Dusty can’t get away for Christmas either, I decided a quick 4 day visit will suffice!  It will be so nice to enjoy the sunshine and 75 degree temps at the beach!  And, I am hoping the wild fires are more under control by then.  Our favorite beach, Santa Monica, is not too far from the Malibu fire.  Prayers out to all affected!!

AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!  We are thankful for our wonderful country life on the farm, and our family and friends that make it all worthwhile!
