Our Country View

This is the view from our house as we live from day to day. Now that it is fall, we know the winter will bring extra work as we keep everything warm. We look forward to spring and the newness of all that will come in the spring-baby animals, that is for us, goats and puppies. Our grandchildren are excelling in school and looking forward to another season of 4-H. 2009saw many accomplishments for them. Bailey won Reserve Champion Herford at the Ohio State Fair and the the county fair: reserve champion barrow, showmanship in hogs, and Premier Exhibitor of Hogs. Sarah was the Outstanding Goat Exhibitor and had an Outstanding of the Day at the Ohio State Fair in Creative Arts. Levi was Junior Swine Showman and went to the State Fair in Welding.. Lydia excelled in her sewing projects and won the Grand Finale Sewing Review. Forrest won a first in goat showmanship and was the Premier Dairy Exhibitor. Caleb had a great showing with his hogs and was the Junior Goat Showman. All six of these cousins excelled in the animal Skill-a-Thons. The grandchildren and the 4-H projects are products of our country way of living.

2010 Fair Levi raised the Grand Champion Market Barrow in both the open class and 4-H and was the Junior Showman in Swine. He was the Premier Exhibitor in Swine, Forrest was the Premier Exhibitor in Dairy, Caleb was the Junior Showman in Goats and showed the Best Dairy Doe of Show, all of the grandchildren placed in the various skill-a-thons and Sept. 2, 2010 was proclaimed the Dianne and Gary Black Day at the fair.
