I’m glad I got my Nikon D70s repaired. I took this shot from afar with a zoom lens. Our little Bantam Rooster thinks it’s his job to tease our dogs because they’re fenced-in a yard. I was shooting photos of this confrontation as fast as a fully automatic weapon. Yea, I love fully autos. This was photo

We hired a great team to do some more work on our homestead. This time they brought in dump truck loads of topsoil to compliment the manure. After their excavation on the previous job, my goal now is to turn this dirt area into grass, rather than the slippery mud that the winter brings. As

As stated in this previous post, we are ahead of our schedule. This week was the completion of our livestock shelter in corral #1. 

We ordered this before moving into our home, and it was just delivered. We have a list of other more important orders that are taking a long time to get here. Nonetheless, we press upward and onward.  

Well, we’ve been residents of Tennessee for 12 weeks, and we’re ahead of schedule. Though I will not disclose all of the work we’ve completed on our homestead, last Friday was a busy day.

Back in Commifornia our dogs had a beautiful enclosed backyard. But since we’ve been in Tennessee, they’ve been stuck in the house most of the time – until today. Thankfully my wife does not give me a ‘to do’ list, but I do make my own. Though this was a small project, it sure will

While letting the chickens out of their pen this morning, I discovered the Bantam was a boy. HE barley gets in the third syllable. Next will be his aggressiveness. Gender role confusion will not be tolerated on this farm.

Coming as city slickers from the overpopulated Los Angeles area, having ten acres is huge for us. But once we settled in, we realized our ten acres and farm life was only a drop in the bucket compared to what true farmers have in this rural country. Nonetheless, we are thankful for what the Lord

Rather than a UTV with a dump truck bed for work on our homestead, we decided to go with this machine. We purchased the Razor XP 1000 Premium edition. I’ll be selling my car (which is in storage), and this will become my primary vehicle in the country, and my wife will still have her
