I worked outside all day. I built another one of my famous Pallet Palaces. It’s 6’x12’ because I had two 12’ R panels. I had 4 pallets and scrounged up some used lumber. I used my tractor to carry the pallets to the pen I’m building. They are the big solid heavy kind.
I opened the gate and...
Horse panel holes are 2”x4” and won’t go over the trailer ball.
That’s the plan. Already have set of 40’ trusses. Have to tear down old sheds and a roping run made of horse wire and wood posts that happens to be overgrown with dewberry, blackberry, green briar and whatever else. Then hire 18...
Companies or at least their CEOs have gone over the edge. I have quit my beloved Tractor Supply. TSC has a CEO that has “gone woke”. TSC has fully embraced DEI. Diversity, Equality and Inclusion. Sounds good until you really study it. It does not include white males or Christians. DEI believes...
THIS is the place you can come to and be excited about a hole in the ground for water, freshly turned dirt for a garden, piles of animal manure for compost, and all the fine points of country living. We are your people!
I looked and looked and looked for a place. I wanted either Houston County ( not Houston the city) or Trinity County. I wanted an old farmhouse to redo. But they are gone, abandoned, left to rot and cave in. A McMansion built in its place, 5 acres and a big price tag, for me at least. I wanted...
Yesterday I worked on building a pen for Rocky and 5 gonna be his Baby Mommas. I had horse panels propped up against the back of the shed. There was also one wired to that red gate that I took down. These were in Reina’s pen, so I put her in the round pen.
Reina has calmed dow a tremendous...
Coffee is ready. I got industrious yesterday and dragged horse panels around. I had 3 full length and 3 almost full length. I got all but the last one put up. Dug out a gate from my gate stash and propped it against the fence. I need to carry in pallets, 2x4s and the 2 R panels and make a...
Still smoking? If you quit, keep an open pack. Put it somewhere where you can see it. Even take one out, look at it and tell it you are the winner and put it back.
It took a triple bypass open heart surgery for my late husband to quit. I told him to keep his last pack, so he put it on a shelf...
Kitty got fixed just in time. You will be a lot happier with her not having kittens twice a year. Unless it’s valuable breeding stock, pets should be neutered. I know you feel better, having that done and now she can just be a good pet. When you are able, you should have the male fixed too. Then...
Lambing has started. This morning Jet, a FF, had a single ram lamb. From the looks of things, Sheba did not interfere.
When I opened the gate, Sheba rushed out to a tree which was hosting 3 black head vultures, barking the alarm. The vultures decided to go somewhere else and Sheba chased...
Surprise! Right on time! Got to be the first time THAT had happened! Jet, first generation recorded, had a single ram lamb this morning. Up, vigorously nursing and healthy.
Jet took him right out on the field, with the flock.
Sheba is their guardian and stays the night in their pen and...
