Knolltop Farm Wife (Melissa Hart)

Welcome to my blog! I'm a wife, mother of four and a self-employed freelance writer. In addition to writing, I am involved in producing several dairy magazines and am the editor of Dairy Agenda Today where I have a blog there as well! This is a place where I can get what's in my head, down on paper (the internet). I hope you find encouragement and maybe a giggle or two!

All that bad weather is gone

Now that the bad weather is passed, we can get back to normal...whatever that is.

It's overcast and cold...well, in the twenties...so I guess it's not that cold. Last evening JW's basketball team won, but the Varsity lost. JW had two points and four fouls. He's proud of his fouls...I don't think this is a good thing....but what do I know about basketball? Luke's team continues its trek to be undefeated tonight as they take on the Litchfield Terriers...the only team in the league so far that has given them a run for their money. It should be a good game.

For those of you who commented on my column...thank you so much for your kind words. For those of you who don't get the Farmers' Advance, my column appears every week there next to Val Farmer and Baxter Black and the one and only Amanda Nolz from the Chewing the Cud fame. I've been writing that column for nine years now and it's more fun now than when I started!

Speaking of Amanda.....I was a guest on her radio program, Chewing the Cud, yesterday...if you want to hear me talk about how great dairy products are then hit her blog link on the left of this page and navigate through her blog to her radio show. She's a junior at SDSU and boy is she one ambitious chick! She is an inspiration to me.

Today I will start on my column for next week which is where you come in. This will be my Christmas column that I use all of your Christmas memories on the farm stories. Thank you to all who have written in...and if you still have one in the back of your mind that you haven't posted....hop to it! You have until 2 pm today. That is your deadline....I know, some of us thrive on deadlines and at 1:55 pm, you will be running to your computer to frantically type up your memory.....that's fine...just get it to me!

Must update you on the PryorVu winter. Ground is still cover with some snow that the 25mph + winds haven't taken away. Was about +20 this am with the wind and the real bite was the windchill. Did the early morning chores in a hurry before coming to work.
Am anxious for the two nephews that are away to school to be home for Christmas. One on the 19th and the other hopefully by the 23rd. Planning to make Julekage and Lefse when they get here.

Betsy Lou is under watchful eyes during this cold weather. She is close. Barbara Anne might be making some showing. They are all anxious to get back in the milk business.

Christmas greetings to you and yours. Will try to get in touch with Gramps and Gramm before the big day.

Glad to have the update from the PryorVu. That sounds like some kind of winter out there! And yes, that cold weather put's a spring in your step everytime. I'm jealous that you get to see all the nephews at Christmas...what a treat for you. And just when are we expecting our new Ayrshire arrivals? They'd better enjoy their time off from milking!
