If you farm, you have faith. We have faith that the rain will spill over from the clouds when it’s dry. And understand Mother Nature is on her time, not our time. Faith. Farmers have faith that the baby calf is going to live. Praying that the sparkle comes back to her eyes, her coat shines again, and she jumps up at feeding time. If the calf takes…
Last week when I attended the annual New York State Agricultural Society meeting, I connected with our state Ag Commissioner, Richard Ball. As you can see in this picture, we shared a laugh and a smile, and I am here to say, Commissioner, this one is for you! 🙂 From the bottom of my heart, I can’t say enough good things about this man and all he does…
It feels like he just got home and is already returning to school. Take good care of him this semester, Purdue! We miss him when he leaves. I would love to say that the holidays treated us well this year, but the fact is that our family went from the flu to very bad colds over the course of the two weeks that encompassed Christmas and the new…
I have a group of friends, and we call ourselves, “The Polar Plungers”. Why? We take cold water plunges–trust me, it’s fun!! We jump up and down like crazy before we shed our clothes down to our bathing suits and jump in the freezing cold Battenkill River. We dunk, freeze, remember what it feels like to be alive, and then have mimosas in a hot tub on a beautiful deck that…
It’s the clinking of glasses, the spread of amazing food, and the twinkling candle light nestled in nooks all over the warmly lit house. It can be one of the most magical times of the year. Last night we had the office Christmas party, here at my house. Unfortunately we didn’t have the entire Morning Ag Clips crew, but we had most! 8 out of the 11, not…
They are loden, lined bibs, given to me many Christmases ago from someone who loved me. They are stiff and not much to look at, but we all know appearances can deceive us. Like a trusty old friend, they embrace me as the last leaf flickers off the branch against a gray November sky. They shield me from cold, damp winds on a frosty morning when the first…
We thought it would be fun for you to hear more from the rest of us so we talked Kate into these takeovers! I get to go first because I HAVE to make amends for that terrible photo she shared of us getting those fabulous donuts in Vermont a few weeks ago! For the record, I was trying not to look down at the donuts while looking at…
We got a star amongst this crew! Our very own MAC editor, Chandler Hansen, from Hansen’s Histories, is an actor extraordinaire! I bet you didn’t know how deep our team goes! And he has a beautiful singing voice too! I am so proud of him and was able to spend a fun evening last night being entertained by the cast of “There is Still No Business Like Snow-business”…
This quote comes out of one of my all time favorite movies, It’s A Wonderful Life. I cry at the end every time I watch it. Friends are what give our lives character and zest. They pick us up when we are feeling blue, they walk with us, they laugh with us, and friends take care for us. And, the beautiful part about friendship is that it is mutual, it’s chosen. There is no failure…
