Tangle Tree Ranch

Well, what is normal when you have a child, goats, cats, dogs, sheep and so on.

Bob delivered some small square bales of hay, I picked some beans. Bob and Mathea over hauled the breaks on the pick up, put goats back in x3, that do get old after a while. But they are cute when they comes in the yeard.

I am still a bit marked by Thursday night trip to the ER. I easily catch a virus that attacks the sack around my lungs, and it hurts when it hits.  I can be fine, and the next minute I can not  breath and I am turning in agony by the pain. It is like somebody pushes a knife in under your shoulder blade and twist it. But a few shots, a good night sleep and lots of fluid usually helps on it. 

Our garden produce is enormous, but it just will not ripen. In about 20 days the first frost will hit. We better have a plan to save it. So we are preparing, straw bale for smoke screen, and frost blankets. We need to get some sand bags filled to weigh down the blankets, so I will add it to the list.

Our big tractor needs a major over haul, so we are going to haul it to Ada Minnesota. That is the nearest MF dealer, just fun and a price quote of $3,500.  Not bad........

Life on a small family farm in North Dakota.

PS our chickens are growing, so things are not all that bad, really, haying is coming along, we are well and tomorrow is Sunday.
