Back in January we had decided that this year we would add some livestock to the homestead. Of course like everyone else, nothing in 2020 went as planned. We decided to wait till spring. Last week Abigail picked up a horse from a rescue when...
Its been 27 weeks since they started shutting down business and imposing weird rules on our daily lives. I took this photo on April 5th. The cattle corral. I hated it and would only stop if there wasn’t a line. I didn’t shop at Walmart...
