Montana Writes February 11

Hard to believe it’s February.  I’ve got my valentines all licked and ready to go. Are you sending me anything? I like rawhide. Sienna could use some love this month too. She was a very naughty girl last month, running away to Elmore at least 3 times a week. I tagged along a few times [...]

Montana Writes January 25

Hi everyone. Well, the big news is that K and C bought the farm last week. Sienna celebrated by running away to Elmore for the 3rd day in a row. I think I went with her — I can’t remember now. It’s such a lovely walk across the golf course — how could we not? [...]

Montana Writes Christmas Morning

Merry Christmas everyone. My week started off with a nice treat — a pork neckbone and pigsfoot from Corinna’s freezer. We are alive and well, although matted fur and muddy paws are the norm these days. Josiah turned 6 months old and is a middle-of-the-road 19 pounds. But he’s off the charts for his height [...]

Happy Christmas from Montana

Only a week left until Christmas. I put in a special request to Santa for a big bag of doggie bones. Kurt and Corinna took the boys away last weekend for a real vacation. I know… farmers don’t ever take vacations, right? They headed to Chicago to show the little boys a real, big city. [...]

Woof woof! Today is the Elmore Scrap Metal Drive at Woodmore High School. Since Kurt is the president of the FFA chapter, he is there today, helping the students, and unloading a whole bunch of his wn scrap metal from our farm. Corinna is really excited to see some of the old “junk” finally leave [...]

Montana Writes after Thanksgiving

Did you get any turkey? Kurt and Corinna took Jed and Josiah to Maumee Bay State Park over Thanksgiving weekend, for the annual Hill family reunion — around 35 people. There was turkey, stuffing, the famous Bench noodles, green bean casserole, Butterscotch Torte, pecan and apple pies, and Corinna’s sweet potato casserole. Sienna and I [...]

Montana Writes November 1st

October has come and gone. The farm has closed down. Even next door, Big Dave’s crew is only here every other day. That’s bad news for Sienna, who acts so lost without her best friend Peaches. (What am I? Chopped liver?) She’s back to running away to Elmore out of boredom. Corinna had to go [...]

Montana Writes October 18

Hi everyone: Well, it’s Tuesday, and Farmer Kurt has taken off from his day job at ADM to get the garlic beds up. Forecast is calling for rain for the next few days, and we need to get that garlic in the ground before it gets too much colder. The garlic seed should be arriving [...]

Montana Writes October 10

Well, thanks to everyone who slipped me a marshmallow last Saturday. Did you catch the Pumpkin Hunt pictures? It was super. The winner of the Pumpkin Hunt was Laif Thorbahn, and second place went to Anna Siegel. Kids had a grand time running around in the dark with their glow-sticks and eating cider donuts. Our [...]

Montana Writes October 2

Well our apologies that we had to postpone the Pumpkin Hunt. Hopefully we’ll see you this weekend as we give it one more go. I am looking forward to sneaking some donuts myself. Uncle Nick is back this week for as long as it takes to finish the high tunnel. They got a lot done [...]
