For all celebrating the resurrection of Jesus today, here is one of my favorite hymns. My grandmother told me once that when she was babysitting a 3-year-old Alison on Easter in Pennsylvania many years ago, she caught me sitting very close to the TV, intently watching a program that seemed intense for a child. She said, “Alison what are you watching?” Apparently I was watching an Easter history special. I turned to her with equal intensity and replied, “What’s the matter Granny? Haven’t you ever heard of the resurrection of Jesus Christ?!”
“I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness
Where is death's sting?
Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.”
—“Abide With Me” by Henry Francis Lyte
This was one of my “rest” days last week. I had to unload 4 bales of hay each weighing 100lbs. Then 6 bags of feed weighing 50lbs. At 44-years old, I love soaking up some natural light while building strength and hope to be doing it many decades from now. I think city folk call this “functional fitness”.

Honest question: did any of y’all know training a dairy cow to be milked can be really hard? I had NO CLUE what I was getting myself into with this one! I truly thought you could just walk up to any cow and they just let you milk them. What a journey this has been. If I charged for my labor per hour what I used to make in TV news, I’d be rolling in milk money by now.
I believe one day we will be milking Maisy. For now, I’m planning to stay the course, slow and steady. Until the day we get our first gallon, I’ll be getting my butter oil from the fermented cod liver blend at Green Pasture! I just went to the dentist yesterday and got a clear check up. No cavities. Hallelujah! Use promo code “ALISON” at check out for 10% off. https://greenpasture.org/
A short clip from yesterday's show where Jared Bedke says starvation is likely in the near future. The USA beef herd is at its lowest since the 1950s as ranchers are selling off their breeding cows in large part due to drought. Bedke's family has been raising cattle in southern Idaho for several generations and he is predicting food shortages - not just beef - on the horizon. What do you think?
So if you're planning to stock up on steaks, make sure you protect your teeth with some fermented cod liver/butter oil from Green Pasture! I used to get chronic cavities and I started taking it - within months my dental health had improved and I stopped getting cavities. I was likely Vitamin D deficient. This product is fermented instead of processed using high heat, so the nutrients are preserved. Make sure to use promo code "ALISON" at check out for 10% off. https://greenpasture.org/
