Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

[Mike CHS]

We got a few pictures yesterday. Most of the pics I'm posting show the 8 & 7 week old ram lambs since they will be weaned soon.

I spend hours out in the pasture doing what probably appears to be nothing to them when in reality I'm trying to make sure I can catch my 100 pound 'puppy' when he is doing something silly.

He's a smart dog, he's got you figured out.
He knows when you are sleeping,
He knows when you are awake.

He waits for the first one before going out on his "raids"

Teresa is making a farm sign to put out by the road. She still wants to put a black outline on the bigger letters but this is pretty much it for now.

Why are some of the letters in “essential oils” different colors? It looks really good, just curious.

 

[Mike CHS]

I don't ask questions like that normally but in this case I did and she modeled it after the literature on the maker of the oils she handles.

 

[Wehner Homestead]

That makes complete sense now!

Everything looks like it is going well for you guys!! I love that black lamb.

The sign looks very nice too.

Our #34 ewe (formerly known as Wild Thang) had a lanky ram lamb about an hour ago so we just have one ewe left to lamb plus the one Jay bought. He lives with his grandfather who has decided he likes sheep enough that he is setting up another 16 acres for them and is buying 30 sheep from an estate sale.

Jay rolled his grandfather's pickup yesterday evening and fortunately he was wearing a seatbelt for once. He only has some bruising from the seatbelt but one of the two boys with him had to be Life Flighted to the hospital but is stable today. He had (notice the word had) a restricted farm license which meant the only passengers he was allowed to carry were adults but nobody under 19. They weren't 19 so he lost his license until he is 19.

I added a pictures of the white dogs to note all of the progress Thor has made in his hoop house shelter renovation.

He's doing a GREAT job increasing summer time ventilation on those hoop houses!!

Oh Jay, poor decision. I sure hope the kid that was "Life Flighted" will be OK. Losing his license will be a PITA, but the guilt of permanently injuring a friend, I can't imagine it.

I got a couple of pictures of the truck that Jay was driving. The boy that got flown out is in good shape it wound up he has a broken leg. They originally thought back but turned out not so but any trauma gets a Life Flight to the nearest hospital which is quite a ways off. Everybody I know around here has the Life Flight insurance.

I was talking to Jay's Grandpa and we agreed that if Jay had not gotten a ticket a few weeks ago he would not have survived. His ticket was for no seat belt (super expensive here) so he and the other two boys were wearing seat belts when the truck started rolling.

Hard to believe the lack of serious injuries looking at the pictures.
