I have always prided myself on my physical strength and abilities. Four children later it goes without saying that I do not have the strength and endurance I once did. But that doesn't mean I won't get back to it. Part of breaking free from the system is taking control of our health and wellness. Five months post partum with our final child and I'm ready to get back to my peak performance. One would think well, running a homestead has lots of physical aspects to it, isn't that enough? No it's not. Muscles have memory, and farm chores are repetitive, even seasonal ones. So it's very important to still have some type of workout routine. Especially in the northern climates when winter sets in and everything gets sluggish. #workoutcomplete💪
Pleasant surprise last night! When Heidrun showed up on the farm we were told she was in her first heat and showed signs of such, wasn't expecting any kids till November. Beautiful Doeling! Momma and little are doing well so far❤️will start milking in about a week!
Been busy today❤️ few pounds of beans snapped, blanched and frozen, eight quarts of bread and butter pickles, and first butcher of the season. Mond tony ad their first solo journey at processing. I'm one proud momma❤️ they both had them finished in less than 30 min, and the meat is no worse for wear than my own first attempts😍
