Life On and Off an Acreage

In-sights into moving from an Acreage back to Town, plus a few things I find of interest.

Two things that horses are scared about:


1. Things that move
2. Things that don't move

Help Much Appreciated!

The warm, spring like weather has caused a whole bunch of land mines to grow in the field. I cleaned up 8 wheel barrow loads the other day, and that pretty much did my back in for a week. I am due to go in for an MRI next Monday to see what is going on. In the mean time, my youngest son and oldest grand son came up to help clear the field.

 This was much appreciated, and reduced a 4 hour job down to 1 1/2 hours.
Another 7 barrow loads went on to the big pile for composting. Now if I could just train the horses to do their thing on the pile, life would be excellent! I heard Llamas do that. Nice Llamas!

We have another tentative date to clean up again next Saturday. This is much better than going to the gym!

    That's a tough job in the winter. I can keep the pastures nice in the summer, but everything gets frozen to the ground this time of year.

    Hamsters do their thing on a pile, maybe get a few hamsters instead!
