International Womens Day!

It’s a Special Day Today!!

She’s a dreamer. She’s a doer, a thinker. She sees everything
as a possibility.

Today, March 8 is a special day. Not only is it my BIRTH-Day, it is also International Women’s Day.  I wanted to do a SHOUT – OUT to all Women, but I want to do a special SHOUT-OUT to all Women in Ag.

Did you know that women involvement in Ag is growing?
Whether they are ranchers, farmers, mom operators, or maybe even a combination of all, women in Ag are special people.
I wrote a poem about these special people.

Let’s celebrate with a CHEER! and a Poem!
Women is Ag is an attitude, really; a pioneer spirit, a Special American brand of Courage. Women in Ag face life head on, she shines her own lights and has no excuses. 
Women in Ag stand tall, with their head up. They tell their stories by speaking the truth. They defend what they hold dear.
Women in Ag might come in all walks of life. A farmer, a rancher, a banker, or a vet, maybe a bookkeeper, and anything in between.

So on this day, March 8, 2016, lets all CELEBRATE all Women in Ag!!


Women in Ag all play a vital role in the agricultural community and we should all be committed to telling our stories.

So on this special day, let’s flood social media with ladies.

Fun Fact Friday from the Circle L~FOOTBALL & AG

Fun Fact Friday from the Circle L~FOOTBALL & AG!

Bridgeport 7th Grade Football Team~ This team broke a 3 year losing streak last Tuesday!  Keep up the good work.  Winning means you’re willing to go longer, work harder, and give more than anyone else. ~Vince Lombardi
This picture really doesn’t need a caption, except LOVE IT!!

What in the world does football and Ag have in common?  Well actually a lot. Here are my top five.

1. Tailgate parties consist of Beef. If you look at the Food Network’s 50 Tailgate recipes, you will find over 22 recipes that call for Beef.  At all of our hometown football games, school organizations serve hamburgers at the tailgating party prior to our football games.

2. Our state football team is the NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS! According to Wikipedia, Nebraska is known as the “Cornhusker State” – and is the third largest corn-producing state in the United States.

3. One cowhide makes about 10 Footballs.(wilson.com)

All NFL games require 24 official game footballs.(nfl.com)

4. Footballs used to be made out of the bladders of animals, including pigs; hence the phrase “pig skins”.

5. Football teams are a lot like our Ag Communities, we all have to work together and we all have to play with our whole hearts to be successful.

I love fall, not only for the cooler weather, but for all the football that I get to watch.

Happy Friday!
Go Bridgeport Bulldogs!
Go Huskers!!

Who are you rooting for this football weekend?

I captured this photo the other day while Cade was playing football. I love what this picture says: footballs, shoes, bench and Gatorade.
Playing football with your feet is one thing, but playing football
with your hears is another.
