  • The Dog Days of Summer

    The Dog Days of Summer

    While there are many things that need to be taken care on the ranch, it is simply too hot outside. I guess you could say we are in the maintenance state – mowing the grass around the house and tending the small garden early in the morning. Our list of things to do is growing…

  • Happy 2nd Anniversary!

    Happy 2nd Anniversary!

    Happy anniversary! Today is our second anniversary as land owners. It has been an exciting two years and we have many plans for the upcoming year. We are continuing to attend local workshops and training sessions on raising cattle and improving forage. We have purchased our own five black Brangus heifers. Brangus are a cross…

    Tying up the Loose Ends

    With the house built and our furniture and belongings in it, it was time to type up the loose ends on our homestead. The first major project for our new house was to build a porch across the front of the house and a small porch at the backdoor.   From the very beginning Charlie…

    Don’t Fence Me…Out!

    Spring Is In The Air

        Since almost a month has passed since our last trip to the property, we knew this would be a work trip. However, that was fine since the weather was so beautiful that it made you want to be outside! Charlie began by taking the weed eater to the gate area by the road.…

  • February Findings

          Charlie and I traveled to the country in February after being away for almost a month! We flew in from Washington DC on Friday from a business trip and made a straight shot to the country on Saturday! Danielle, Raya and I drove over to College Station for a baby shower for…

  • Welcome to the Cows

    Football season had a definite impact on the amount of time that we were having to spend on the property. After a Friday night game, I suggested that we make a flying trip to “the country” on Saturday and have our first overnight stay. We were able to make it up to spend the night…
