I've been to Miami Beach for a conference and am now back.
Last year, our good friends from Wheaton, Allen and Linda, spent a week at the farm with us and helped us with several projects. We really appreciated their help, but I think what we will appreciate the most is that they helped us plant several trees. The ground was so dry and hard that we had to hack at the ground with our shovel and then pull them out of the ground by their roots. Well, it appears that one of those trees is going to make it.
It appears it will be in a perfect place, by the fence post in the foreground.
C&J have 4 bottle calves to get their beef herd started. It has been a lot of work for them. Jackie is enjoying them. She looks good for a city girl, doesn't she?
Bob had a fun project to work on. We have a table saw - with no basement to keep it in. We had it out in the garden shed - and had to carry it outside whenever we wanted to use it. They have the calves in the same shed and they are just out of room. So, Bob built a dolly to put the tablesaw on and make it easier to move it around. They were able to roll it up in the trailer and take it down to the small barn. Next time we need to use it, it should be easier to get it and bring it back up to the house. It is half a mile down to the small barn.
