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 [...]

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!

Steve got the front fence to the big garden done and we all helped to paint it. (Yes, some of us are still picking paint out of our hair.) This will be the front of the goat pen. The rest is temporary (ugly) fencing, back up to the trailer. The sheet metal you see laying [...]

I added a couple of new blog links over to the right if you’re looking for more reading material: Oklahoma Wine News (fairly self-explanatory) and Okiedoke (”Vintage Okie opinion with a twist of lime”).
The well house is still in progress. The framing for the floor pour is done and it’s level, almost [...]

Yes, I know I’m terrible about updating this thing lately. Let me give you a rundown of the past few weeks and the upcoming ones:
Charlie and Isaac’s birthdays mid-September, including the circus and two weekends of celebrations, followed by a visit from Grandma Kaye, then a week or two off, then a weekend trip [...]

I used to have links to a few of your blogs/sites/whatever here on the front page but, due to my neverending computer screw ups, I ended up accidentally poofing all of them. If any of you want me to put them back up, just holler and I’ll put them back up. (Or anyone [...]

We ate the first two ripe tomatoes today! Just had to rub that in for the northerners.

First, a couple of kid shots just because they’re so cute. (They’re my offspring–could they be anything other than cute?? I think not.) I missed a pic of Cody because he had already gone into the house.
After a month of no rain, we finally got about 1/2″ the past couple of days. [...]
