Questions and Answers

Sorry I have not updated this for awhile. My desktop has "issues" and I had left my laptop at the ranch but I'm here now and I can get caught up over the next few days. The weather here has been beautiful today with clear skies and about 75 degrees with a light wind. This has made the dogs happy as they played in the fish pond for a few hours and then crashed in the kennel to rest up for doing at all over again tomorrow!! I have a new lap puppy named Audie Murphy and he is part Min Pin so he is even smaller than Mojo which make him just prefect for crashing on my lap when I watch TV and such. He really loves playing with the big dogs but we worry he may get hurt as he is so tiny but just try to stop him!!

Our neighbor brush hogged (mowed) most of our available open meadow and tree line to clean the place up and to help keep down the tall grass and weeds from being a fire danger. Today I found a new spring in the meadow which may help us to water the fruit trees we will be planting next week. We are looking at peaches, apples, sweet cherries, black cherries, pawapaws, necrerines(?), blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, gooseberries, and raspberries! We may not see any this year but we should be really set next year for fruit, jam, and canning them all. Gee, my own peach trees!!

It was really neat to see turtles in the fish pond today but I hope they are not eating all of my fish! But, it should be alright as I stocked the pond pretty good last fall and I hope to do so again this month or so. I will also check on getting a few rabbits and laying hens to add to the daily menu as I have tons of room to expand after I get used to raising just a few to start. Oh well, the generator is running so I am getting ready to fire up some chili and rest up for the rest of the day!  Cheers!
