It has been a long time since I have put anything in this blog. It is past time for an update.
We bought a little old farm place West of Bloomfield. It has a barn, an old farm house, and old concrete building that was once a chicken coop, and a detached garage.
I've been fixing things on it every since we bought it. Of course this is normal for just about any place you buy. There will always be things to maintain. Everything needs maintained, it's just the way things go. We now have 5 acres of pretty good good, relatively flat ground. We have planted a garden and harvested the vegetables and put them up in jars or froze the produce. We have about 6 chickens,2 dogs and 4 cats, and 2 rabbits. We don't have a goat, cow , or pig..as of yet.
I would like to get a few of each for the farm in the coming year. I need to repair, or build a few fences before I can have them, and I just haven't had the time, or energy to get it all done. Recently I was able to get electricity into the garage, and now I have it ran down to the barn. I put it all underground buried in PVC pipe. I am now working on getting it over to the concrete building. I hope to eventually make that my ham shack. Now it is getting cold, and the ground is freezing solid, so it may be sometime before I get that done.
We have also planted fruit trees and berry bushes. We have apple,peach,plum,cherry, and pair trees planted. The place already had a few mulberry trees growing on it. I might try growing a persimmon tree this coming year.
We have blackberry, black raspberry,and blueberry bushes planted.
In other news, about 4 weeks ago I was made an Elder.
Also Anna Mae George passed away this past week and today REichard Davis gave a funeral talk at Bloomfield. There were about 81 in attendance.
Well that should do for now for an update. This post was not my best writing, but it was mostly to inform and bring things up to date.
DING!
