Johnstons' Riverview Farm News!

Howdy!!

 

 

I am such a slacker! it's been a month since I posted a post!
(Covering my face with shame.)
So, thanks to everyone who kept reminding me about my one, simple job!:)

P.S. How is the weather there?? It is raining buckets here! Yuck!

Let's jump into the news!
 

 

Buckle up!!
--------------------------------------------------------

 

We finally bought a truck!! We were using my grandpa's all winter.

(Thanks for letting us borrow your truck, grandpa!)

Our farm truck!

 

It isn't red, it's maroon. Just saying. :)

 

 

Luke showing off the inside of the truck!

So, dad has been telling me about this truck and being the girl that I am, I did ride in it until like two weeks after we bought it. I jumped in the truck and right away froze. "Red velvet seats.", I look to dad, "I feel like royalty!!" But really! We've never had a truck that had royal seats! Mom said that I need to get out more. :)

(I showed my dad these pictures and he said, " It looks like you are trying to sell it." So, NO we are not selling this truck! I LOVE the sound it makes! Do you ever get in a truck and when you push the gas it makes that loud  "BRAAAAAAAAAAAA "sound? Ours has that but with a "pop pop" sound. It's great! :)

Down on the Farm!

Magel!

This is Kaitys new buck! He's sooooo sweet! He's really friendly too!

The only thing is, he's a 80's bunny. Why? Because he has a  mullet!!!

He's got the short hair in front then long in the back.  I don't know how I feel about having a bunny on the farm that has a mullet.

 I just don't know.....................

 

Daisy!

This is our new baby girl!! We bought her when we bought Twinkie!

 Isn't Daisy sooooooo cute!? She's a month old now!! She melts my heart!

So, mom and dad went to buy a milk cow, and umm, yeah. They saw her and couldn't leave her.

We really don't need any more heifers but, hey! She's cute! :)

 

 

And

Twinkie!!

 

Many people have addictions, TV, alcohol, books, drugs, but, we have a addiction that you guys might not even know of.......................

 I call it the,

 

 dairy farmers, "I don't need another cow but, why not buy this cow" addiction.

 

Quit laughing!!  It's a deadly addiction!! I'm not lying! Every winter we buy cows ,every spring we buy a milk cow, every fall we buy just one more! Once you start, it's hard to kick. Trust me.

 

She is our newest milk cow!! :)

Random Pictures!!

================================

I had to put this picture on my blog. Just look at this picture!

(Wiping away tears.) It's true friendship!

(Grabbing a hanky) Its so lovely!

"Ok, Mickey and Fuzz get out of the PORCH!!!"

 

The Ultimate Fort!

Walking in the house, I go straight to mom, excited to tell her how babysitting went when my brother bursts in the house. "Grace, Grace, come outside! I want to show you my tree fort!!" I follow him thinking that it was going to be one of his half finished forts. (He has a few of

them.)

 I walk to the side of the shed and stop right in my tracks. It was huge! Three stories high and totally done! I right away climb up the pretty creepy ladder. (That I know will break on me one of these days!)

 Standing on the main floor, I take in the fort. He even had pans hanging in one room and a rug down in the main floor. I thought it was pretty cool! He really wanted me to go on the top floor but, I'm a chicken when it comes to heights so, I stayed right where I was.

Good Job Luke!!!

Oh my,

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

 

*When you post pictures on your blog of when it was snowing and then not finishing your blog until it's 50 degrees.

 

*Adding a blue tailgate to your maroon truck with a green ratchet strap to tie it together, literally!
 

*Cowboy boots + ice = A ice skating cowboy/girl.

 

* Trying to get your new bridle to fit your horse only to figure out that your dad put it together backwards.

 

*Wearing mix-match socks to your babysitting job and having their mom point it out.

Really, who has time for matching socks! :)

 

* Taking your (still in training) calf out for a run and hoping it looked like you have control of the calf. (Even though you might not!)

 

*(Brand new phone in back pocket) Stardust "Hahaha! She has something in her pocket must bite it! Must get it out!"

 

 

 

Thanks for reading and have a blessed day!!!
