Nikki DeLoach to star in 2021 Fall Harvest Hallmark Channel Movie!

Exciting news for all of us Nikki DeLoach ("Cranberry Christmas") fans, she will be starring in an all new Fall Harvest movie, according to an article at Hartford Courant.

This Fall-themed movie, currently titled: Love at the Steeplechase (or I've also seen the title, Taking the Reins) will be Nikki's third Fall Harvest movie for the Hallmark Channel, following, or should I say "fall"-owing (haha!)... Truly, Madly, Sweetly and last year's premiere, Sweet Autumn.

Film details below are all according to the Hartford Courant...

Scott Porter, Janine Turner, Corbin Bernsen - image credit below

Nikki DeLoach's co-star is Scott Porter (The Good Wife, Friday Night Lights); plus, Janine Turner (Northern Exposure, Friday Night Lights) and Corbin Bernsen (Psych, When We Last Spoke) will portray Nikki's parents in the movie.

Most of the movie was filmed at Meadowbrook Horse Farm in Marlborough, Connecticut. Originally, the Hartford Courant mentions, Love at the Steeplechase was supposed to be a dressage movie, but the story changed to stadium jumping.

In Love at the Steeplechase (working title), "Meadow Brook Farm is a farm that Deloach’s character grew up on and comes back to after a long time spent away from it."


My Quick Take:

As a farm girl myself, who grew up in the country, I always love a good story that takes place in a farm setting... so I am very much looking forward to hearing more about this one. I think Nikki DeLoach will be terrific in this country role. I don't really know much about Scott Porter's work lately (I have watched some of Friday Night Lights years ago), but I think he looks like a good opposite for Nikki. I've always been a big fan of Corbin Bernson, especially his faith-based films, and I really like Janine Turner, as well. What do you think? Please share in comments below...

Blessings! Net

Season 2 of The Cowboy Way: Alabama is Galloping Your Way on INSP!

image courtesy of: INSP

Via INSP: "INSP’s original series, The Cowboy Way: Alabama, returns for season two with more real-life cowboy adventure. This one-hour series follows three modern-day cowboys – Bubba, Cody and Booger – as they build their business in south Alabama herding cattle, breaking horses and tilling fields. Three friends live by a cowboy code as important to them as it was to the pioneers of the Old West. They work hard, play hard and face challenges head-on. While their days may not be easy, they love the rugged life they’ve chosen. These cowboys and their families wouldn’t have it any other way.

In the first season of INSP’s original series The Cowboy Way: Alabama, viewers got a behind-the-scenes look at three hard-working and charismatic cowboys: Bubba Thompson, rancher and expert carpenter; Cody Harris, rodeo champion and cattle dealer; and Chris "Booger” Brown, expert cattleman and horse trainer. Audiences watched as these three friends built their cattle business in South Alabama.

In January, the boys are back for another season, and they are still driven by the old-fashioned cowboy code of faith, family and American tradition. Viewers will get a closer look into their lives, and into the women and children who love these tough cowboys and make them want to come home every night. It will be a new season of fun and adventure, with a few twist, and some unexpected surprises!"

The Cowboy Way: Alabama - Season 2

Premieres Thursday, January 4th at 8P ET on INSP

The Family Farm vs. The Government

I'm going to go a little off subject today - because this issue personally effects my family and many of yours, too.

There was a recent law, proposed by our Government, our Labor Department, to put an end to children working alongside their parents on the family farm. This new law would have contained various restrictions; such as: barring children 18 years and younger - from grain elevators, bins, silos, feed lots, stockyards, livestock exchanges and auctions. Even showing animals at local fairs would not fit into their regulations - along with replacing many 4H and FFA programs with a 90 hour federal training course.

Well, farm families, every day citizens, 4 H and FFA groups got out the word - and they were just beginning to push back! God bless them.

Look at what the register-herald.com said:
"All it took was a massive outcry from America’s heartland and the Obama administration pulled in its horns on a plan to ban juveniles from pitching in to help out with the chores on family farms."

Coming from a farm family, myself, I know, as a child & teenager, how often my siblings and I rode in Tractors, went to Livestock Auctions, visited grain elevators, and on and on...

Imagine, if children in this country were banned from working alongside their parents - picking apples in trees, learning to drive and operate farm equipment - the family farm as we know it in our country - would become extinct and I cannot begin to imagine what would become of our American food supply, if we had to rely solely on foreign countries.

For those of you, who enjoy the TV series, The Waltons, imagine if John Boy Walton, or his brothers, Jason, Ben, and Jim Bob, had not been allowed to work in the barn and cut wood, alongside their father and grandfather. Ben might never have picked up the trade - and carried on the tradition of Walton and Sons. Also, do you recall the episode where the children watched Chance's calf being born. According to this law, the children would not be allowed to watch, because the animal was "inflicting pain."

Or, imagine Laura Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie... she might not have been allowed to climb up in the hayloft, milk a cow, or pick up a pitchfork and clean her own Horse's stall. There are children everyday, who, like these characters on TV - live their lives just like this. And, many of them - love it just as much as their parents did - generation after generation.

For now, there is good news -

The Government may have fought The Farm - but, thankfully The Farm Won!

I am hesitant, however, to rejoice too loudly... for this is surely to be an on-going battle for the future of our country. Our family will continue to put it in the hands of the Lord - who created heaven and earth! "A man reaps what he sows." ~ Galations 6:7

Thank you to those of you who have read this post. I appreciate all of my followers. In writing this, I was trying to think of various TV shows or Movies that showed children working with their parents/grandparents on the farm. Any ideas?

Also, I think it's important for us to stand up for our rights! This is America - Land of the Free and Home of the Brave! Let me know what you think - see Comments below...

MOVIE REVIEW

Growing the Big One

Network: Hallmark Channel

Original Air Date: October 23, 2010


CAST:

Shannen Doherty ... Emma Silver
Kavan Smith ... Seth
Stephanie Belding ... Betty
Madison Desjarlais ... Kim
Keith MacKechnie ... Russell
Caroline Matthews ... Mayor's Wife
Krista Mitchell ... Savannah grace
Scott Patey ... Technician
Aaron Pearl ... Bobby Ellis
April Telek ... Marie

PLOT:

from Hallmark:

Shannen Doherty ("Beverly Hills, 90210") stars in "Growing the Big One," a Hallmark Channel Original Movie about a young woman who inherits her family farm which is deeply in debt and decides to enter a pumpkin-growing contest in hopes of saving it with the winnings. In the process, she falls in love with both her new partner in the pumpkin contest and the simple life of her grandfather's small town.

Emma Silver (Doherty), a big city girl and radio talk show host, returns home when her grandfather passes away. She soon finds out that her grandfather's farm is saddled with debt because he couldn't bear to sell it and see it turned into a parking lot or a highway. He also leaves Emma with a handful of his prize-winning pumpkin seeds and a note that says he's counting on her to take care of things that he couldn't.

Emma's new boss sees it as an opportunity for a gardening radio/webcam show, even though Emma knows nothing about the topic. Her grandfather's handsome neighbor is willing to help out but he wants to share half the prize money. Reluctantly, Emma agrees to her new partner's terms and soon realizes she's signed on for more than she bargained for.
