These two keep me young.
On this day 2 years ago, the guy with the self-painted orange hair broke my water after a 4 mile hike in the Eagle Cap wilderness of Northeast Oregon. We ended up in a tiny mountain town hospital where I spent my 41st birthday walking along a path dotted with horses and cattle to get my contractions started. Two days later, Jack arrived. His birthday we will celebrate Saturday. Life has changed, and time flies too fast, but gratitude grows every day. Thanks to all of you who have spent another year with my team!
We have only been trailering our horse ourselves for a few years, but typically Lynn is the one at the wheel. The kids had rodeo camp recently - to which they needed to bring Sassy - and Lynn had an unexpected meeting to attend. That left yours truly as the only option for a driver. I have been riding horses since I was 5 years old, but I have never driven a trailer of any kind. I got one quick 10 minute lesson around the neighborhood and then off we went. Thankfully the arena is only five minutes from our house and I was able to take back roads most of the way. Of course, as a 33-year old horse who has traveled to Seattle and back twice, Sassy is a dream horse for a newbie. We made it safely and I feel much more confident now.
I keep my driving eyes healthy with the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture. Vitamin A is great for low light vision and omega 3s are important for retinal health. Get yours at 10% off using “ALISON” as your promo code at check out....
The first time I watched a cow sorting practice last year, it was like a switch went off in my head. “THIS is what I want to do with the rest of my life.” Some people want to retire. I want to be a cowgirl. Thankfully, Lily enjoys it too (though she says it’s more fun to do it in the shade), and turns out Sassy isn’t scared of running up on cows and chasing them away. All of this made for a fun day trying it for ourselves for the first time at the kids’ Rodeo Camp.
Yelling at the cows definitely helps so I keep my cowgirl chompers healthy with the vitamins A, D & K in Green Pasture’s fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil blend. It’s also packed with omega 3s that keep inflammation at bay when putting my 44-yr old mom body to the test. Use promo code “ALISON” for 10% off at check out. https://greenpasture.org/
Anyone who has ever had baby goats knows their little hops are the cutest to watch. Here’s a compilation of some from yesterday.
You can support the farm and your health at the same time by shopping with Green Pasture. I have been taking the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil for 15 years now and I really do credit it with overhauling my chronic battle with cavities. I take it every day for the vitamins and omega 3s. It’s a food-based source of nutrition which makes it that much more available for your body to utilize.
