Hidden treasure!
Remember how I said my Grampa Eddie never threw anything away? Look what we found!!! It's an old ceramic tile, and it's HUGE! Ted's going to try to get it with the hay spear once the ground dries out a little and move it for me. I want to set it in the fork of … Continue reading Hidden treasure!

Little friend
Ted and I were out checking the cleared land again. It smells like Christmas over here! This giant pile of pine trees was pushed into the ravine. It will eventually rot back into the soil, but until then, it will serve as a home for rabbits, birds, and other wildlife. We kept hearing things … Continue reading Little friend

Early morning chores
Beef likes to play with his water bucket and toss it outside his fenced grassy area! No matter where I have to be, if a water bucket has been kicked over, it has to be refilled (especially if I have to leave for the day)! I was filling this bucket at 8 a.m. before heading … Continue reading Early morning chores

A weekend of fencing
Ted went down to the pasture at 8 a.m. Sunday morning and tied Bessie out, and then he started fencing again with electric. This pasture fence had to be run differently because these posts were already set, and woven wire was already in place last summer. This one just needed a wire at the top … Continue reading A weekend of fencing
