Things are finally coming together here, fencing is going up and sheep will be coming home very soon! Jeff has been installing the fence for our sheep to live in this week digging post holes and pounding in t-posts. The end of this week we will be bringing home the meat sheep, Ewestace and two other ewe lambs to keep her company. Then this weekend Jeff and I will be going on a road trip to pick up Purdy the…
I went to pick up our pig yesterday, we named her Lola. She is an Old Spot Yorkshire cross that we plan to grow out for ourselves to eat. I might not have planned my trip the best since the crate I grabbed didn’t have a door on it so I had to use a bag of shavings to block the entrance. I also should have taken the truck so that the stinky pig would have been in the back…

We have run into a few snags like the lawn mower not working, a…

My dad lovingly referred to my mother’s lawn mowing skills as a…

Decided to take a break from packing and moving stress for a wonderful trail ride on Ace this morning.
I was sitting there minding my own business when I saw a giant hand reaching out of the sky to abduct me. My friends and I were running for our lives when I was snatched, snatched I tell you, plucked right from the earth! Luckily (at least for me) I wasn’t alone some of my friends had also been taken. Once caught we were loaded into a transport container, when we were dumped out we all looked up to see…
