Another Crazy Idea!

Once upon a time I created a rock bed for my herb garden.  Boyd helped me haul in rocks we found around the farm.  I even laid down weed barrier, but it didn't stop the grass from growing up through and making me insane.  It was so hard to weed with all the rocks, ha, ha!

I eventually moved the herb garden and tried to ignore the mess left behind, until this year.

 This year, I decided to deal with the problem.  So, I moved ALL of the rocks.  Well, all of them except the big one in the foreground, that one is there for good.  The whole area was covered in rocks of all sizes from the fence on the left to the containers on the right. 


 Then, I salvaged some chicken wire and laid it out to contain my rocks.
 I made it as large as the space would allow.
 I wish these two knew how to help and not just get in the way.
 And dig holes everywhere.

 A nice view.

 So far, I like it and I certainly hope I don't ever need to move all those rocks again!

And More Water

I took these pictures on March 14th, since then the water had receded a bit - until the recent rains and melt.  Now, it is all back to where we started.  The fun never ends!

 At least the dogs enjoy playing in it when the sun is out.







 Then, they end up looking like this.


 As we came up the hill, we saw Boyd taking a big hammer to his tractor.  Not sure what that was all about!

A Sure Sign It's Spring

I know it's Spring when the goats start shedding.
Flora loves to rub against the fence.



She leaves a trail of soft, fluffy hair behind.

All the goats seem to love to rub against this spot on the apple tree.

They have even taken advantage of the log Boyd will be chopping next.

It's pretty obvious Spring has arrived!

An Early Spring Walk

Well, a walk for everyone but me.  I rode in style, including cruise control.


 We found the remains of a what was probably a pheasant. Whatever ate it, left nothing but fluff!
