Our Farm

Never forget critters have a mind of their own.   To bad you can't train them to come when they have medical issues.  But enough of that... The owner will have to figure out to do it.  We tried  many ways and said screw it.  Today was a day where we got up early.  At four am  Little One had uncovered himself and got cold and just  wanted to snuggle with Mommy.  This is better then getting up 3-4 times a night and I am not going to complain as he is growing up way to fast.  Then came time for Kiddo to get up where she had a melt down cause the night before she stepped in dog poop and it was on the bottom of her shoe and she demanded that hubby or I clean it for her. So then the water works and fit started but ended quickly.  After the Bus showed up we grabbed some breakfast then headed out to water our gardens and trees.  Then we had lunch and checked the cows. Tried to catch the one that needs doctoring .... yeah attempt 5 stil...

Hey  we got another dog   His name is Blitz and he is a 6 year old  fixed purebred German Shepard.  He is a gorgeous dog but needs some training but that will come in a few as he gets use to us and the place.

Well its been a busy week.  We have lots to due yet but we got the yard work done even thought it looks like it needs it again. Our burn pile has grown but was to windy to burn today  I should have told him to do it the other day.  no rain in the forecast for a week :(  we need it) It will get burn soon  don't want snakes uggg Hubby got a turkey so we got that in the freezer. Saw 2 baby rabbits under a tree in our front yard as we were cutting some dead limbs and suckers off the trees. Named them   Hase & pfeffer  and told them that is what they will become if they get into my gardens. Got another apple tree as we don't think little ones is going to make it  and got it planted out .... just hope it lives as little one  got a hold of it in the car and tore some leaves off. The tonight  oh my I was just going to shut the front door for the night and noticed something odd... it had a tail and odd back  Well what I found was...

More work at the barn this afternoon  got the panels up gates fixed and then worked on the other gate.  Here are a few pictures of what we did and worked on. fence to replace next Side and back of barn we are working on back of barn chute entry Locust trees grew around the gate gate we  freed from the overgrown trees. This is why the  little one can't run the barn lot chain that was holding the gate shut the Locust tree grew around

Well ended up loading bad wood  and hauling through a mucky mess  but its down  tomorrow  we will have a burn pile going

Moving the cows to a new pasture this morning after fixing the fence.  Hoping we get the rain and sun to let the other pasture grow up some.

Tearing down and fixing up  what a day Tearing down old hay feeder this side is done for the most part looking into the barn   lots of work to be done  needing to find a chain for our head chute

It has come time that we are now putting down roots.  Hubby retired in January and now we are at home on his small family owned farm .   There are a few things that we miss but for the most part all of us are very happy.  It is nice to raise the kids in small school setting  and not have to worry about  dealing with  classes of  almost 30 kids. So let me recap here. We are slowly fixing things ups.  We have the chicken coop that is almost ready to have some chickens in it  just a few more things like  roosts, nesting boxes and then the feeder/water and straw for the floor.  Opps we still have the run to build yet.  So maybe next spring  I will have some chickens. We are fixing up the barn and working on building  shelter for the horse and cattle. We have 4 cows right now.  Beef, Cappy ( short for  Cappuccino), Piper and Mickey   we are looking for a bull as well.  Our small herd runs with h...
