In Between Seasons: Spring Edition

Being faithful to the present moment. In May of 2021, I’m finding myself in another transitional period. The weather is fickle, one day temps rise to the 80s and on…

    Following the leader 🐮 Watching the herd hierarchy of cows always makes me smile. If I can get the lead cow to move, the rest will follow 😊 #grassfedbeef #dextercows #cowgirl #southernmn #regenerativefarmer #rotationalgrazing #catholicrurallife

    Do you ever think about how you thought your life would go? The narrative my 18 year old self had was a lot different than what has transpired in the past 11 years. Basically, I’m realizing life isn’t a game of M.A.S.H. 🙈 Truth is, we’re graced with other set-backs & step-forwards that change your story, molding it into what God has in store… with more selections than Mansion, Apartment, House, or Shack 😋 So the question becomes what narrative ideologies are worth wrestling? Maybe I need another cup of coffee before diving that deep 😜 #naturegirl #outsideisfree #exploremnagain #natureisneat🌲 #boundarywaterscanoearea #outdoorsygirl #livedeliberately #transcendentalism #widernessbabes

    The young bird flock is excited to be out and about this morning 🕊 Young bird season is when you race pigeons that have been born in the current calendar year. These birds are motivated differently, they don’t care so much about getting back to their nest or territory, but more about “the work out” 😂 #homingpigeons #racingpigeons #midwestsunrise #naturephotography

    Come out of your shell today!! 🐢 With the water levels so low, I’d recommend heading to a local river for a hike to admire the difference in nature. Leaves are starting to turn colors 🍁so bring your camera! #natureisneat #paintedturtles #riverhike #outsideisfree

    New fence day!! 🐮 The main chore of grass-fed cows is rotational grazing… setting up temporary fences so your cattle move from paddock to paddock 🌱This gives the cows fresh pasture to munch on, plus resting time to the land just grazed! #grassfedbeef #grassfeddairy #rawmilkfarmer #catholicrurallife #rotationalgrazing #catholicfarmer #stewardsoftheearth #regenerativefarming

    “Everything is evened up in the world. The rich have their ice in the summer but the poor get theirs in the winter.” -Little House on the Prairie 🏠 It’s all about perspective! There are many different types of riches- outside of dollars! Being rich in friends or hay feels just as good 😊 #littlehouseontheprairie #hayseason #baling #catholicfarmer #catholicrurallife #femalefarmer
