My Blog

Guest Blog by Paula Peckham Proverbs 27:19 “As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects man.” Thank you, God, for the lesson I seem to need once again. On a summer morning last year, I stopped at Starbucks before heading to the rehabilitation center...

Run for it! Don’t let them catch you! These are the words I imagine my steers might have hollered at each other as they escaped their pen yesterday. I’ll explain. Tom, my husband, arrived home from work to find steers in our back field. While that isn’t completely...

If I’ve learned nothing else in the past three years, I’ve learned the value of a length of galvanized wire that has electricity running through it. The combination is important. Though the wire is strong on its own, if Tony the bull decides his one-plus-ton self is...

[html]We love our furry children. Ricky and Lucy are always up to something. One of my favorite “bad dog” stories is when we’d first purchased the farm and were out working on fences. We brought the dogs with us, but since they are both runners, they had to be...

If you’ve read much of what I post, you know I live on a farm that provides tons of story fodder. Animals act so much like humans. It can be hilarious and it’s not even politically incorrect to laugh at the antics of a farm animal… yet. One of my favorite stories is...

One of the most painful lessons I’ve learned since becoming a farmer is that life ends. The worst endings are the unexpected. It may seem strange to hear that a person who raises Angus cattle for beef would mourn the loss of an animal, but I have. Some deaths, though...

I'm grateful to take part in a writers critique group with some talented artists. eMarie is one of my favorites and her new book [i]A Snowflake's Adventure[/i] is adorable. She was kind enough to share her blog with me to celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow....

They look so innocent and peaceful, munching away on hay or on the grass in the fields. Don’t let them fool you, though. Cows are mean. Some people will excuse them and say they are just animals. True, animals aren’t humans, but the way they treat each other has given...
