Woo Hoo ! What's the first thing you're planning on doing now that you'll have a full time boss ? When ya gonna move to the ranch ? I have a vicarious interest in what goes on at the ranch, because I'm stuck here on this half acre of 'urban'ville and can't have critters or grow a huge truck garden like I would yearn for. Heard on the news EVERYTHING is gonna get real expensive so you'll probably grow more veggies...I know we will. We grow pole beans, cukes, and tomatoes on fences or wire circles for ease of picking...Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Tue, 15 Feb 2011 14:53:17 -0600 "> Sherry has nine more working days before she retires.. does > it sound like I'm counting?

The first thing? Hmmm Good question... there are always so many things that need to be done it's hard to say what will be first... My guess is the chicken coop... this is something Sherry has been counting on for a very long time. Our hunters have offered to come down and help paint the small house they stay in, so I'm guessing that will be second on the list. There are some repairs Sherry and I will have to make before we get to the painting. The help from our hunters will be of tremendous. The old, wood frame house has needed scraping and painting for a long time. Of course the garden will be planted but that shouldn't take long. I can use the tractor to prepare the soil and then it's a matter of selecting the plants and getting them into the ground. The exists fairly near the house, an old open cistern.... about 12-ft across and at least that deep. It has a concrete base and concrete/rocks around it. We hope to make necessary repairs and turn it into a rainfall harvesting system. While we are on a rural water system, it is rather expensive. We will use the rain water that we catch to water the garden and the yard. Speaking of the yard, there is a tremendous amount of work to make the yard presentable... That job will take a lot of work and a lot of time... As you can tell, there is a lot to do... we'll keep busy, that's a certainty.. lol :-)** On Wed, Feb 16, 2011 at 12:29 AM, <askgranny@juno.com> wrote: > Woo Hoo !
