Oshi is actually pretty calm now but he has developed a bad habit as far as Maisy is concerned. He loves having me scratch his neck but when I quit, he circles around and moves toward me fairly quick. Maisy thinks (and she might be right) that he is going to ram me and she will go after him to...

The weather has been perfect for the last several days and it's supposed to be right around 70 for the next couple of days, followed by a cold snap. Our reserve of smoked brisket is about gone so I'm going to smoke a couple of them either tomorrow or Tuesday if they are thawed out since the temp...

We had our first frost this morning but it was a slushy type that didn't seem really frozen. Teresa was putting out some feed for the ewes this afternoon and our yearling ram (Jack) wasn't smart enough to move out of the way of the Gator and hurt his hip, He seemed alright after a few minutes...

She smiled and said Thank You.

She said Thank You :)

It was great but I still brought half of it home. :)

Tomorrow is Teresa's Birthday, and she wants to go today to a nice steak house in Pulaski. They have a Prime Rib that is as good as it gets. My shoulder is steadily getting stronger and my hard head finally let it sink in that being impatient wasn't doing me a lot of good. I have pretty much...

I have a pile of brush and small trees stacked up by our catch pond that won't get burned until we get a whole lot more rain. Our neighbor above us had the hill cleared of all trees back during the first year that we lived here. The hill they are on is at least a 20 degree incline and the rain...

We got an inch of rain yesterday so that put a dent in the severe drought. I was looking at the drought map a couple of days ago for Tennessee. Almost all of the state is in drought but there is one little section that is in a severe drought state and that just happens to be us.

I opened the gates and let the sheep come into the nursery paddock while Teresa will be gone. She is going to Missouri tomorrow for a week but I have healed enough to take care of most things. If something comes up that I can't deal with, we have some super neighbors.

I have a new definition of "content". Standing under a tree on a cool morning with a 170 pound LGD under your right hand getting petted and a 350 pound ram under your left hand getting neck scratches.

We brought the sheep in this morning and weighed and took a close look at their condition. Overall, they looked great and we did worm a few of them. Oshi is finished for the season and the young ram (Jack) is now in with the ewes in case any are still open. Based on their weight though, all...

She made me some scallups in a parmesan sauce and it was good as always.

It was pretty low key but it was good.

My 74th Birthday is today and it was pretty routine. I always feel good when my step kids call to make it even better.

It looks like scammers are trying to access our bank accounts using a phony Verizon look-alike account. We got a text from our bank that we weren't even sure was real but they had caught the scammer trying to access one of our accounts. We got that shut down and cards canceled. It wasn't 10...

We got our property tax assessment today. Our property tax is the same amount now as it was when we first bought our place. The county next to us has had an increase just about every year so I don't know what the difference is. I'm pretty amazed every year when I think that we were paying ten...

Doctor visit went well and he said I was where I needed to be but since he ordered another six weeks of PT, I'm not sure that I am. :) A First Watch restaurant opened up not far from the doctor's office so we stopped there and had lunch. This was our first time eating there but there will be...

I have my post-op visit with my ortho DR tomorrow morning. It should be pretty routine since I'm already past where they say that I should be. I have no gripes since I am still enjoying not having major pain 24/7 and anything past that is better,

The folks that bought a starter flock from us last spring came to pick up Toby the young ram as their herd sire. They bought the ewes back in March but we made an arrangement where they could pay for upkeep of the ram until their ewes were ready to be bred. Oshie is the sire for all of them...
