Out Over the Lower 30



One of my favorite places to be at sunset.

It's been a peaceful day. The weather has been perfect. The sun is out and it's just the right amount of warm. Gordy and I took a trip into town this morning. Our list was long and our stops were many. Starting with the most important thing: our cup of coffee and morning muffin. In town we got food for all the animals, food for me (eggs, peanut butter, bacon, soap and batteries. You know, the essentials) vaccine's for the puppies, and a stop at the post office. It took us the better part of the morning but it's always a good time when me and the old fella take a trip to town and take a break from the farm routine. When we got home, the chores were waitin for us. We figured they'd go ahead and do themselves while we were gone but we figured wrong, I guess.

Fur Report: 2 mice were taken yesterday. One, in the trap I set in my bedroom. The other, I found dead in my rubber boot out in the wood shed. I went to dump the straw out of my boot before I put it on that morning and out fell the little mouse, dead on the ground. Easiest 10 cent I ever did make!

I thought it finally time for a quick video tour of The Realm. It's rough and my narration is terrible as usual but please bear with me! These vids are just to give you a visual reference point of where I am when I talk about places on the farm. As time goes on, i'll try to show more in-depth footage of the buildings and places in other videos.



 I broke it up into two parts to make the upload a little faster and also to keep my ramblings from seeming so endless! I'll pre-apologize for this one. It's a tad shaky there at the beginning but it gets better, I promise!


And there you have it. Those are the main locations on the farm and a very basic view of the property. There are so many other cool little places on the land that I'll show in due time. I do like Boss a lot, though. He's one cool bull. I bring him an apple every now and then and scratch his big ole head.

At the end of the day, I like to go sit on the top of the hill, at the northeast corner of the horse pasture, overlooking the lower 30.


 From there, I look out and watch the colors change in the sky as the day turns to night.


It's such a peaceful and quiet time, enjoying the entertainment that is, creation and relaxing on the soft hillside after a long day's work.

Sitting out there seems to make everythin alright.
