Woods Walk and Plans

February 9, 2021February 11, 2021 Amy Wheeler

Shane, Morgan and I are going to clean out behind the brush and make a “fort”. It looks worse than it is (just trust me on this haha). But the trees are open there and we can have a fire pit and put in a shelter for camping. Plus we can look out from where… Continue reading Woods Walk and Plans

Future Goals

What is difficult on a homestead is deciding how to prioritize all your future plans and goals. Taking small bites so you don't get overwhelmed by the enormity of your ideas.

Lean-To Number 2

December 18, 2020December 18, 2020 Amy Wheeler

The right side is a 10x18 area for the horse and the left is a 10x18 area for the yearling lambs and the pet wether so they may eat alfalfa without the horse pigging out. The grass hay is fed outside… Continue reading Lean-To is Complete

Lean-to Work

October 29, 2020November 13, 2020 Amy Wheeler

We've been working on the lean-to winter shelter for the horse and rams. It will have 2 sides, one for the horse, and one that only the rams can get into. This way the horse doesn't get into the ram's alfalfa and pig out. Here's the gallery of work we've done (mostly Shane's done haha).… Continue reading Lean-to Work
