I have a full time job that I work 7am to 3:30 pm. When I get off work I start my afternoon off by checking the mail and watering the animals. I checked on the cows and noticed they were all gathered around the new water trough. The trough was bone dry. The trough has a leak. The pump has been going non stop for days and apparently burnt up.
I hate to depend on anyone but I called in the troops. My son in law and daughter came over to access the situation. Electricity is good but pump was not turning. Son in law called her babys daddy and the two will fix my pump tomorrow. I did call a well repair man who was rude to me and I called him out on it. Not a good choice when the cows are thirsty.
We ran a hose from my bathroom window that is hooked up to my washer spicket. This is city water feeding my precious cows tonight. They are all pregnant and the temperatures have been 105 plus all month. We have had no rain and my pond is dry.
So tonight I am enjoying the beautiful stars and visiting with the donkeys as the trough fills up with store bought water. I will need to get up early and make sure the trough is full for the day while I am working.
Hello, my name is Dinky. This is a name given to me in my first marriage. It is my grandma name. A few other selected individuals address me as such. I am a onetime divorced, one-time widowed single woman trying to discover the real me. I will take you on my journey. Read if you are interested.
I feel that I am a hard knock educated person. I have been a working mother, a stay-at-home wife, a Christian, a caretaker, and a retired woman. I am always seeking wisdom on how to improve as a person and hopefully I can share as I learn more.
I have many interests. I enjoy cooking because I enjoy eating. I am not a great cook but am eager to try new recipes. I will share these with you. I have a degree in business management and a certification in food science. I have worked man years in the food manufacturing industry.
I also have a small farm. I have some cows, a donkey, some wild horses a bull and two dogs. I would like to explore more homesteading techniques and become self-sustained. Maybe we can learn together. I encourage your input and ideas.
I have spent many years learning how to make quilts. This is another hobby I would like to get back into. I am always up to learn new crafts and explore new projects.
I am really big on goal setting and finding ways to make my life simpler. I will take you through some of my ideas on that progress.
Lastly, but biggest on my list is that I am a Christian in continual growth mode. I will never be all that I should, and I will never judge people in regard to their own journey. I am always open for discussion on this topic.
If you find my talks interesting, feel free to follow me. If I say or write anything offensive feel free to call me out. I am up for improvement and self-growth.
Welcome to learning about me and helping me in my self-discovery.
