Will finished burying the waterline after insulating it well. But even our heavy duty backblade just kicked rocks up when he tried to grade it nicely. However, his friend has a landscape rake that goes on the back of a tractor and Will called him. In an hour’s time, the rake was hooked to our tractor and Will started raking. Wow, what a difference! Not only did the rake gather the big rocks but it also leveled out the driveway like a landing field. Will shoved the rocks over a bank next to the driveway and continued raking. Now it looks ready to blacktop (just kidding).

\nMeanwhile, I’ve been continuing the big job of taking the seeds out of our last tomatoes, squash, and pumpkins for our seed business, Seed Treasures. Besides canning, that sure makes harvest time L O N G! But I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel as most of the tomatoes are done and so is the tomato product canning. Whew! But the pantry shelves are really full and there are getting to be lots of containers full of different seeds.<\/p>\n

Hunting season starts here the first weekend in November so we have moved the horses and cattle out of the north forty pasture as it’s the “wildest” of our land and stray hunters could mistake a calf for a deer. Hey, it happens; I have, in the past, had two horses shot by deer hunters. We want to play it safe.<\/p>\n

We’re continuing getting ready for winter. Will is going to pull the irrigation pump, which he’s already drained, so it doesn’t freeze in the spring basin. Once pulled, we’ll then drain the entire line so it’ll be ready to go, come spring. (Boy, that seems like a long way off, doesn’t it?) I’ve got to replace the hinges on two gates and a goat shed door so we can move our goats up from the pasture for breeding season and for winter. It’s nicer to have them closer so when it snows bad we don’t have to wade through deepening snow to feed and water them. Lots of little projects and the days are getting shorter. — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
