Enjoying the snowy weather

Good thing I was working this weekend, we've had a couple of bad storms come through, rain on Saturday, snow on Sunday, and more on the way through Tuesday. And right after we planted our fruit trees :( Sure hope they make it.

Welcome to new followers...

I don't get as much time in front of real computer these days, so I do apologize to my new followers for not recognizing them sooner. For those not in the know, my blog is maintained and updated via my cell phone. I do not have the latest and greatest phone on the market, so I do not get to see all the bells and whistles of Blogger. I do get a copy of comments sent to me via email, and I can get to a real 'puter to answer in a day or two, or I'll write a post if not. So a big thank you to 45er, Duke, and  DFW. I've been a reader of 45er and Duke for some time, and really enjoy their blogs, if you are not familial with their writings, take a click over and check them out.

Back to our regular scheduled program...

Back to work on our ranch today. We were able (after a couple of set backs, fittings with holes in them, breaking fittings, clogged valves, etc) we were able to get our water heater plumber for the saloon... ***cheeres*** all around! No more cold water to rinse the dishes with!
We also got to work on our orchard. We were able to get the peach, apple, cheery, and pear trees in today. Also started on the split rail around it and the entrance arch.
On top of that, we moved out our storage trailer so we can empty our pantry and finish it off...

Whew! I'm tired.

Fun with photos

Fun with Tilt Shift

Found something cool on the internet and thought I would share. This is a photo that I used a Tilt Shift Maker to doctor. It's a free website, so check it out.

More fun with Titlt Shift, this is a photo from our trip to Disneyland last year.

The little things...

I've been under the weather for the past few days, but I couldn't take sitting around any more this afternoon. So I decided to finally wire up our TV antenna and see if we can get any channels... Glad to report we are able to get 11 digital channels! At least now we can watch the news and not feel so out of touch with the rest of the world.

Best part... We are currently watching the news via antenna, powered by solar... It almost feels like we're breaking a law or something! I guess that comes from all those years of paying for cable TV in the city...

As a post script. I had to run into town today to get some dog chow, and a couple of misc. supplies. I had to go by the gun shop and pick up some targets for the wife to plunk at, and saw some personal defense rounds that are rated for Zombies... Just had to pick those up, just to have them on the shelf.

Too early, and too cold.

What you looking at?

My schedule is all messed up

Next couple of weeks, and probably all spring long, my employer has seen fit to split my days off. Makes getting into a working groove on the ranch that much harder. Today we ran a few errands in town, then came out and put some finishing touches on the goat pen.
Originally I had opted to line the pen with field fence. Great idea if the dumb animals wouldn't stick their heads through it, and forget which way is out. Seriously my goats are not the smartest.
So this afternoon we went over the field fence with cyclone fencing we had taken down in front of our house in California... Some ten years ago. Nothing like recycling. We just wrapped the pen again and hog-ringed it to the field fence. Now I think they'll get the hint. So far they seem to be adapting to the new larger space well. They are able to jump around and act like crazy goats. Now that's what I call fast food!
