As one who has consistently overloaded herself throughout her life, let some stuff go, don’t add to the burden you already have. Get the outside projects done to where you can maintain what you have. You are working on the inside, slowly reducing the “stuff”. You will get the inside of the house...

Coffee is ready. Got to run sheep through the chute this morning, sort some and worm some. Then I’ll get to work on the lumber pile for the hoop coop frame.

Short answer. No. Long answer. Not worth it. Bulldozed mess, roots, dirt, barbed wire and a few T-posts.

Yup, money is the hold up on some of these. It would be so nice to have the money to just point, do this!

Welcome to SS from East Texas!

Welcome from East Texas!

Welcome from East Texas! I’m on 25 acres and raise Katahdin hair sheep. I have 2 Anatolian Livestock Guard Dogs and 1 farm dog that’s half Great Dane and half Labrador.

Had first cup of coffee. Finally made my 2025 New Year’s resolution list. New list is short. Carried over lists 2024 and 2023 undone projects. Maybe this will be the year that I get BIG projects done!

It’s February and finally my New Year’s resolutions. Plus left undone from previous lists. LOL From 2023 1. Move 500 gallon diesel fuel tank and stand. 2. Move 4 power poles and assorted pieces of drill stem pipe. 3. Move my windows. I will build a greenhouse out of them. 4 Finish moving...

A good doctor appointment and a bodacious little boy. Life is good. ❤️

I’m having some very colorful lambs this year. There is a Katahdin sheep field day in May with the option to bring sheep to sell. So far, it looks like I’ll be taking about a dozen. Conformation first, the color is an added bonus, but eye candy sells! This is Ewenique, she is 11 years old with...

No I haven’t moved again. I’ve been here 2 1/2 years. Just so much to do and only me to do it. I’m lambing now, 26 lambs so far with 10 more ewes to lamb. Ordered 75 CCX chicks with nowhere to put them. So got a load of dirt yesterday to build an above rain lake pad to put a hoop coop on. Raided...

I keep kitchen door open to added on utility room, it’s plenty drafty, stays cold. Plus opening and closing doors all day, nighttime potty for Carson and I turn it off at night.

Why work when they get it for nothing. Truly disgusting. Just wondering… did you share with those sluggards? 😃😃😃😃

I love you @murphysranch !

Maybe you can start to appreciate the Bermuda in the pasture. In the garden, lay down cardboard if you can get it. It will help to smother out the weeds and Bermuda. But Bermuda will travel to a hole in the cardboard and come up. But at least it will be subdued a little. LOL

People are worried about increasing food prices and most people have a yard. Read that as DIRT to grow even a small garden in. But that is WORK and they would rather complain. I can’t count the people I’ve tried to encourage, over the past few years, to grow a garden, only for them to whine they...

Winter is leaving, it can go somewhere else! 26 this morning and 26 tomorrow night but with high of 52. It warms up next week but then we get rain all week. MUD!

Same thing here. Bermuda in a garden is an ongoing fight. Or you can make rows wide enough to just mow it down and I’ve done that too. That very tenacity is what makes it such a good pasture grass for livestock. It takes a beating from hooves, hard grazing and given a rest, comes right back...

That’s the objective of the tariffs. We used to have factories here that made our own products. I worked in a welding shop in my 20’s building oil field pumping units. I made good money and a good living. That place is gone now, buildings gone, only a patch of concrete to suggest there was once...
