Getting estimates

This morning at 9:30 an excavator came by to see about clearing the new property I'm hoping to enclose for rotational grazing.  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

Then she realized that wasn't hay in that trailer!  She was a little worried. ..but I guess maybe all brides are when meeting the arranged marriage husband for the … Continue reading The wait is over!!!

She thinks she’s my baby…

I can not sit down in the evenings without Puppers  climbing up on my lap. She has been on my lap since she was two days old (or in my robe pocket or later in the baby sling LOL).  Now she weighs about 70 pounds and only her head fits on my lap. This is … Continue reading She thinks she’s my baby…
