Calves to the Lease.

Going from our place to the lease. Papa is in the lease, calves still on our place. 

Farming has a way of calling to us and lately we've been doing a bit of it. Ivan, the smallest calf in the top picture, needed to be separated from Isabel so Papa cleaned up some bush, built some fence, lured the calves in, easy as they love that cow candy!, and we checked on the calves and they looked happy and in the right spot. The next morning Ivan was not in the pen, he was beside his momma's pen and soon inside her pen. So much for that! 

The road in the lease. Papa had to clear a chunk of the neighbours fence so he could make it stronger. It's just before this picture. 

So Papa rebuilt some fence, gave the calves an alley way close to the cows but ultra built with HOT fence and put Ivan BACK in with Milton and Patch and we waited. 

The far corner of the lease, where the grass really grows :) The calves finally get the cow candy! 

The second fence held! Yay! For the next few days Papa, and sometimes I, went to 'walk the calves to the lease.' A fun short walk. Papa in front with a bucket of cow candy, followed closely by Milton, Patch and Ivan, with me following along behind. Happy steers! 

Pantry Doors

No stain. 

First coat. 

Second coat and finished! Yay!

First Paint. Bathroom Floors.

This is after the 1st coat on the bathroom floors. I really put a LOT of paint on the floor and it's a deck paint so it's taking awhile to dry. Hopefully today I will be able to do the second coat. I'm also going to stain the walls before Papa puts them up and then the bathroom work will really start :) The color is a bit darker in real life.

Yes that is my iPad cord.

Big Momma, Gilly and the boar, Big Red. 

A bunch of little pigs all snuggled up in the barn...

The next picture! I guess they heard me ;) 

A Walk Thru the Bush.

See the stripped bark above Papa's head? That's where a moose has been eating last winter! Tall moose! 

Lots of this everywhere in the lease! 

Moose sign and cow bones.

The calf corner. This is the best patch of grass in the lease and the farthest from the house. A good place for calves :) 

The area Papa burnt piles on a couple of years ago. Pretty nice grass in there too :) 

Dog Tails.

During breakfast the other day we heard a huge ruckus under the trailer. This is what we found. Tucker was stuck! He'd somehow gotten under there and had a electrical wire wrapped twice around his back leg. Papa had to push him back around that pole and untangle him! Tucker weights a fair bit and it was a tough push. Here are some more dog pictures from recently. Tucker is taller now then Chip.

I had to talk to them as Papa was in the pig pen lighting a fire and they both wanted in with him but they had to be happy with me instead. Here is what I normally get..

Can you tell which direction Papa was in?? Lol. Loyal mutt. 

 

Update on the Stairs to No Where.

Before the railing.

Door frame. 

Inside view. 

The mini porch. 

The stairs and porches. Feels a lot more like a house with a front door. Even if the door is temporary.
