Around the farm Sunday -- Wishing You A Hopeful, Happy New Year from all us critters!

The grape arbor this time of year.

Pete and Maddie — Update:
After it snowed the other day,

Pete finally accepted a blanket. Mr. Stubborn didn't think he needed one.

At grain time "the kids" are separated temporarily to preserve equal servings.

Maddie ran to join Pete after finishing her grain.


Whereupon they gazed off toward the far-off sound of a chainsaw.

A new builder came by today, met by our "official greeter".

Brian constructs pole barns for a living. He knows what he's doing.

After hanging and securing Tyvek house wrap and cutting a door opening,

he put up sheets of siding.

He held the new door up to the opening,

figured out how much to trim off and did so.

In the course of four steady hours Laurie's barn had a section sided
and her "wo-man" door in place.

She is well pleased.
Thanks for visiting.

Hanging a door always seems like the epitome of construction skill to me.

I can feel the horses' personalities.
