August news and weather report
|
Hello Friends, August has been a pretty wet one around here. In the last 8 days we have had over 5 inches of rain, with 1.7 inches last night. As I write this I'm watching it rain again. We have been busy with bottle calves (that story is in the newsletter below), along with helping some neighbors with their chores. Bo is off work until Thanksgiving as he recovers from bicep surgery in June. We are truly enjoying our extra time with our favorite guy ❤️. As the month continues on we will be getting the home ready for more canning and back to lessons. I'm also planning on some fun "homestead" events for the fall months. September we will be talking about First Aid for the medicine cabinet. If you are interested in this workshop, feel free to message me to sign up. That's all for today, hope you are enjoying your Sunday afternoon! Grow Something Beautiful Friends, Julie www.brinkerfamilyfarm.com |

This ever changing feeling comes in many forms, from the change of seasons, to the changes in our children (bless their heart, growing up can be hard), a momma needs to always remember to watch the gate. Last week was...
Hello Friends, Happy 4th of July 🎇 I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend celebrating our countries 250th Independence Day. Bo has been busily baling hay and is almost finished. Once that's done we will be right into fair week then it will feel like we can relax and enjoy summer. The kids and I have been planting seeds into little pockets of the garden and flower beds. Next up we will be resetting the hoop house. Most of our spring crops are done now, I have a few red beets I'm letting...
Hello Friends, As I write this I am sitting in a couple waiting rooms. How is that possible? Most people can only be in one place at one time. Well, my physical body is waiting on Bo to finish up with surgery on his arm. It's been a crazy few weeks leading up to today. Hurry up and wait kind of crazy. We haven't talked too much about today, it caused us both some anxiety. It was better to keep busy and do more. It was easier that way. It reminds me of my c section in 2022. As I was in the...
