Tired of Waiting
October 29, 2012 I guess the babies got tired of waiting. They came into the world last night. Mom and all ten little ones are doing fine. I do wonder though, why do the mothers always use the soiled bedding for their nests? I just leave it to…

Ready for Steel
October 28, 2012 I snapped this picture early this morning. The wash-house stands ready for steel siding and roofing. We just have to wait on the weather. The rain from “Sandy” is supposed to soak us for the next week. We will wait and rest easy, because all…

All In A Day’s Work
October 24, 2012 After a good early start and a finish at sunset, we got the wash-house framed in. It was a tiring day, but satisfying as well. The prep work we did in the rainy days of last week paid off big dividends today. We had pre-cut…

It’s just a little mud
October 23, 2012 The other day, King had to go to the vet. He was due for all of his booster shots. He is a little over a year old now. I bathed him the night before with pet soap and a little “Skin-so-Soft”. He looked and smelled…

October 20, 2012 Okay, it’s the wrong holiday, but no one told the turkeys! They were having a great time out in the speltz field until they spotted our dog. Then they ran for the gate, but couldn’t figure out how to get through. It was funny watching them…

The Inspection
October 14, 2012 Yesterday we finished the block foundation of the wash-house. It went well, took a while, but was worth it 😮 Now, I must get my butt in gear to get it closed in before bad weather sets in for the year. It is nice…

Hello Walls
October 19, 2012 The walls are up…well at least the first four feet anyway. Still plenty to do, but progress is steady. The wall lumber has been milled and will soon be cut to length. Construction for the rest of the framing will begin soon. Yesterday we…

I got my eye on you!
October 17, 2012 A horse’s eye will tell you a lot of things. You can see their mood and their temperament if you know what to look for. Duke has honest eyes with no fear in them. They are soft, as is his compassionate nature. He is a good…
