Talk about a crazy week!

First we lost out Internet connection... something about being late on the payment, but got disconnected 72 hours before the late payment was due... and with no disconnect notice... oh well, that's life in the middle of the desert.

We got back up and running on Thursday.

Having no Internet access combined with pretty good weather allowed us to get a jump on the farm projects.

I started by getting a series of photos to share with y'all so you can see how things get done around here.

These first two shots show you the property... about 9 acres of tumbleweed an acre of house area and an acre of animal area.

As you can see, we've got our work cut out for us for several years. The previous owners really didn't take very good care of this place. In fact, at one point, there were renters living here with "100 dogs".

As we're working to rebuild the sheep pen, and prepare the new horse pen, we're picking up lots of wire, conduit, old re-bar, and other crap. It's quite a job to say the least.

Here's where the first worm boxes and compost pile will go.

Ok, next post will show the progress we made late last week and over the week-end.
