Cupcake

This is my bull Cupcake. He is a Limosine/Angus cross. I bought him from a divorcee that did not want her cows bred. Cupcake enjoys breeding. I have not seen a calf from him yet.

Day in the Life #2 – Visit to the Pecan Orchard

The second part of my day is to chwck on the cows. I grab my keys and my back pack and hop on the four wheeler. I check the pond. It is not deep enough for fish. I see turtles in it sometimes. It is a good water supply for the cows. There is aContinue reading “Day in the Life #2 – Visit to the Pecan Orchard”

The Greenhouse

The other day I bought some discounted plants from the Lowe’s Hardware store. I bought them the day before we had a winter storm. I also bought seed to put in seed starter kits. The next day Texas received a winter storm. It dropped to the low 20s. I built a green house last summer Continue reading “The Greenhouse”

Getting Ready for the Winter Storm

Then I put some squareContinue reading “Getting Ready for the Winter Storm”

I checked on the cows and noticed they were all gathered around the new water trough. The trough was bone dry. The trough hasContinue reading “Farm Living is the Life for Me”

And Then There Were 6

Please be prepared for a very attention deficet story… One day I went to Whataburger for a chicken apple cranberry salad. They are out of this world good. I was in the drive thru and a very polite man backed his SUV into my Nissan. He apologized and we exchanged insurance information. I took myContinue reading “And Then There Were 6”

Neighbor Donkeys Came for a Visit

I received a phone call at work the other day from my neighbor. She told me my donkeys had wandered over to her place. I told her that I only have one donkey.
