Hopefully they can get a few hours in before it rains!

Team Yellow Sticky Note 🙌
If you feel great satisfaction in crossing items off a list, this is like next level. Complete a task? You get to rip the note off, crumple it and toss it in the trash. My mind is in a thousand directions right now so I feel like everything must be written down or it will be forgotten.

It’s just that you don’t get to pick your favorite color like when they open the gate at the fair.

Life brings constant change. Through all the chaos of farm and family, one thing has stayed the same: wholesome, delicious, nutritious milk—produced here, day after day, year after year, decade after decade. We’ll just keep doing what we do best. 🥛🐄

Dear Minneapolis: be good to my precious girl.
Dear Liv: don’t let your Bibles get dusty.
Dear remaining children: you can now get a word in edgewise.

Me: How do you feel about the first day of school?
Ava: 9th grade — “excited!”
Violet: 6th grade — “I don’t have a single emotion in my brain right now.”
Vic: 2nd grade — “sad. I think schools should just wait until the corn silage harvest is done.”

Liv received one last award yesterday as she closes this chapter of her life and begins a new one in college. I have been absolutely blown away, over and over and over, by the amount of financial support agriculture gives to the next generation of leaders. There are so many available (she has seriously kept a spreadsheet of possibilities) and we are so filled with gratitude for the support.
