It has been a busy few days both here in Texas and on the farm in Kentucky. The days are starting to get shorted and my mom is tired of cooking by lantern light. So I got on amazon with Chad and we searched page after page looking for the perfect light fixture for aboveContinue reading “Let there be light”

Kentucky has been getting quite a bit of rain lately from Hurricane Ida but that has not stopped any progression on the farm. Due to all the rain it made the hill up to the chicken coop very slick and my mom slid down it and fell. Luckily, she didn’t break a hip or anythingContinue reading “Slowly but surely….”

Our Amish neighbors came back yesterday afternoon and baled the hay. I know most people are probably not as intrigued about hay cutting as I am but I have never seen it done at all. Let alone the way the Amish do it. At first it was just the young man’s father out there withContinue reading “All baled up”

A little of this, A little of that The Amish guy that cut our hay field came back. He used a different tool to move the hay around.

We made several trips to the convenient store for ice, and drinks. While Chad and I were driving around oneContinue reading “The Locals”

It has been quite the chore in its self. I know it will be beautiful when it is completed.Continue reading “The beginnings of modern conveniences”

The Barn The barn was a bonus when we bought the house. It was on the list of wants but we did not think we would actually get one in the price range we wanted to spend. The barn will need a lot of TLC to get it to where we want it. The floorsContinue reading “The barn”

Electrical updates Before I left the farm, I had to get one of the stalls cleaned up for electrical panel to be put in. When we moved stuff in to the barn it got piled into that stall. We wanted power put into the barn at the same time as the house so we wouldContinue reading “Electrical Update”

Here are some photos that we took throughout the week while Chad was at the farm. I did really good documenting until Chad got there. He is distracting. lol
