Nellie turned 3 on May 17th!
A visit from Grandma and Grandpa Chrisman a month or so ago.
Goofy trampoline dwellers. (Hm, the next two turned out sideways and I’m too lazy to fix it. Pretend they’re fixed.)
The search for intelligent, extraterrestrial life continues.
It’s not found here in Redneckia. (This trailer was put in a few miles [...]

The kids found some colored hardboiled eggs some maniac hid around the yard.
Then, with egg farts, they propelled themselves to the pond for some fishing.
Some pics of the flooding on the road to our house. Note the little dark spot just to the right of middle of the first pic? That’s the top of one [...]

Steve built a multi-station contraption for me, for pull ups, chin up, hanging leg raises, dips, and safety for bench presses. Love it!

It’s been a month since I last slapped something up here? Dang. Well, here ya go.
Spring has sprung… mostly. Steve built a retainer garden kind of doohickey, right in front of the wellhouse. (Remind me to tell you guys about the new plans for both the wellhouse and the regular [...]

First, a couple of more pics of the critters from yesterday. We’re trying to get them used to us so we can milk them when the time comes. The goats are pretty tame and friendly but the sheep are very skittish so we’re taking it slowly.
And, just so the hogs didn’t feel left out:
It snowed [...]

Look at what we brought home today! Three goats (Nubian & Nubian/Boer cross) and five sheep (Barbados and/or American Blackbelly and/or whatever else found the opportunity in an available ancestor). Yum!

Today, Isaac “graduated” from his speech therapy! Yay, Isaac! He’s so very cool!
And a not-so-random photo I took a week or so ago on my way home. This is just as we cross the “floating road” to head back into the woods on our way home. Man, I love living here!
Oh, [...]

Steve built me a beautiful squat rack! It is not only a squat rack but also an adjustable step. In the first pic, you’ll see the step pushed back out of the way for doing squats. In the second pic, you’ll see it pushed to the front for use as a step. It’s 18″ high [...]

We’re getting some more goats (dairy/meat crosses) pretty soon so Steve’s been busting butt on getting some good fence up. He might get it done tomorrow except for the painting but we’ll see.
Getting the panels put in.
And the two remaining hogs tilling up half of the big garden. I smell bacon!
