Today at Wonnenberg Livestock
Community Service Day
Community service is an important thing to learn. The 4-H club spent a couple hours cleaning up behind a local daycare. Many hands made light work.
Memorial Service at Paxton, SD
We had a great time at the annual Paxton community service and potluck. It is always a great remembrance of all who have served and what they have given us! The kids are always excited to collect the casings after the service and serve as memory everyday to remind them of our soldiers both past and present.
Show Pig - Pua
This guy will be spoiled this summer. He will go for baths and walks. Lydia will get in and brush him.
Ceramic Workshop at Hobby Shoppe in Winner
Lydia loves to paint ceramics. She learned lot of new techniques from Ruth this year! Thanks to the Hobby Shoppe in Winner SD.
Working Calves
We were working calves and taking cows and calves to pasture this week. The kids were more help this year and the years of finding babysitters has passed.
The Miniature Poodles Arrived
Around Lydia's birthday she asked her dad for a miniature poodle. He disagreed with her plan of getting the smartest dog that exists. He told her he would get her any outdoor animal she wanted. She spouted off "I'll take some goats." So here we are!!!!
Prairie Dog Hunting
We saw some prairie dogs moving into the yard so we sent out our "Great Hunter". She came back with a striped gopher.
Another Day, Another Activity
Elizabeth had a great music concert this year. She played trombone in the Gregory Middle School Band and had two solos during the choir portion of the concert!!!! She works hard on her music.
2025 State Shooting Sports
One of the favorite weekends of the year for Elizabeth! This year she qualified in .22 Pistol, .22 Rifle, and BB Gun. She had a great weekend and she went to her first real steak house with her Shirley Temple served in a boot.
A few less posts....
The last couple weeks have been a bit wild.
The story is (and it's a dumb one)....
I took the girls' heifers for a walk after the second one made it all the way to the barn she stopped, farted, looked back and was so embarrassed she ran me over. This injury comes from accumulated accidents that were not taken care of. I guess the lesson is to get things taken care of as they happen and make the time to take care of yourself even when the chores, kids activities, and garden are waiting for yout o tend to them.
GARDENING - with No Drama!
It was time to put in some cool weather plants this weekend. The peas and broccoli have made their way out. Saturday I am hoping cabbage, some flowers, and cauliflower plants will go out along with radish, beets, and carrot seeds plus more onions and potatoes.
