Weekend Updates & Changes
I have chosen to take the "comments" option off of my page. First, I have found I really don't have the time (which is the truth, really) to reply back to every person that comments (which is only a few at a time). I love hearing from everybody, but am so busy about the only thing I get to read really is my email (marye.masterson@gmail.com) in the evenings before I pass out from exhaustion!! Plus some of the ones who comment regularly anyway, email me so the comment option is off for now. Do hope everyone understands!
Ok, now for the weekend updates..... we finally got the fence done on the lease property!!! Whew!!
We (FIL, MtnMan and myself) managed to get all the horses moved over yesterday! All happy campers in their new pasture.
Lyfa the one on the right will be leaving Saturday for her trip to Joplin to retire. I am really happy for her! This will leave 6 boys (5 horses & 1 mule) and 1 girl (mule, truthfully she is like one of the guys in this group)
and we bring another mule back with us from Joplin to add to our group.
The fencing job did not go without casualities, FIL got nailed by the fence right between the eyes leaving a scratch mark and I got nailed in the eye when the fence broke in half while wiring it up to the fence post.

Pulled dry beans, carrots, beets, peas, kohlrabi, picked two sweet potato squash, one watermelon, cukes, zucc, broccoli, crooked neck and half potatoes...then went swimmin!
Today I am putting everything up so I am ready for the next round which is not far behind. Canning and Freezing and Drying(naturally).

Chickens are growing to beat the band. Did lose one last Friday to a red tailed hawk scared the bjesus out of the poor little things didn't leave their hut until Sunday evening. Down to 9!
**********************************************************************************
Weather has been really hot and humid! Like in the 90's with humidity of 100! Stiffling hot until few days ago. Storms came through and cooled things down. Yesterday we had a high of about 75 with lows last night around 50! Nice!!! Reminds us of Montana weather in the mountains.....
**********************************************************************************
Today the guys are starting to get serious about the pad for the shop. They are tag teaming with the tractors getting gravel and dirt.
**********************************************************************************
Well I guess that is all for now..... maybe will get more on here tomorrow.
