It's cold enough (-20 this morning on the way to surgery) that the water tanks freeze and stay frozen. Ted bought another tank heater and threw it in the other water tank. He had to bust up the ice - even with the heaters - with a big 2x4. I just keep reminding us all … Continue reading Winter water

Water in freezing temps
Lots of folks have asked how we keep water to the animals in freezing temps. It's hard work. I won't lie. It's difficult to do. There is no just deciding not to do it one day. They count on me make sure they have what they need. There is definitely no taking a day off … Continue reading Water in freezing temps

Monkey man
Ted decided to take down the old tarp since the loafing shed is in the field now for the cattle and goats. He was climbing over the fence when Beef looked at him so Ted bounced up and down like a chimp on the fence post. I'm pretty sure Beef thought he was crazy. I … Continue reading Monkey man

LOL It is an awesome … Continue reading Thou shalt not covet (but we kind of do…)

His cousin buys timber so hopefully a lot of what's there is good enough to purchase and will help offset the price of clearing the land. The guy is out there walking it … Continue reading Getting estimates

Redneck ingenuity
I wish I had pictures from today to share with you. Sadly, I do not. Even if I'd had my phone or camera with me, my two hands were busy and couldn't have snapped the pics. Today, my husband figured out how to move a 1,000 pound round bale of hay (we don't have a … Continue reading Redneck ingenuity

Love is in the air
From the first minute, Bessie and Beef bonded. They stick together like peas in a pod. He's learned that every evening means sweet feed treats. Now he let's me run his back over the gate while he gets that treat. Look at those pretty eyes. She loves to have her chin scratched... ...and she loves … Continue reading Love is in the air
