Let's see, last week my kids showed in our local county Fair. My youngest is still too little, but next year! My middle one is in her last year of Mini, she was awesome! She showed a 265 lb. Holstein steer. My oldest is in his 2nd year of 'real' 4-H. He showed the same Holstein steer as my daughter, he showers an 860 lb. Holstein steer & an 1,010 lb. Holstein steer. He also showed in Showmanship. He came home with 2 second place ribbons & 2 third place ribbons. The next day he showed a Holstein heifer calf. He won Grand Champion in Showmanship. He also won 1st place in his class, then followed up by winning Grand Champion in overall Dairy Heifer. So it was a good day!
I've been canning like crazy! I've done tomato juice, green beans, blackberry jam & peach jam! Yum!
I've also whipped up some AMAZING recipes lately! Chocolate banana brownies! So good!!!! Even the kiddos liked them!
So, I finally purchased the 21 Day Fix program. It seems like a basic idea, but I LOVE to cook & bake & wonder how the containers will all work, so we'll see! If nothing else, I hope to eat more veggies!!!
We just finished doing hay this past week! Whew! That was a huge undertaking! I believe we are going to have to purchase another baler before next year!
Here's a great picture I took tonight from my back yard! It was so much more amazing in person!
