Not much has happened since I was last here. It has been really dry and I am having to move the sheep more often in order to make sure they have enough grazing. Ms. J still doesn't like them much so I have decided to get a least one dog. I found one on craigslist named Gauge who has been raised with chickens and the like. That is very important because next week I am picking up a few chickens (from craigslist again). I set up a water meter in my name so that I don't have to depend on the meter dedicated to the house. Hopefully, I can get the water line constructed next week sometime. My co-worker will come out to the farm with his well camera to see with the deal is with our well. So far--we have not been able to get it to work.
On another note--it is very interesting trying to work with older folks sometimes. My time is very limited so I sometimes need to work well into the night on the farm to get stuff done. The problem with that is that if my great aunts (who live on the farm) know I am out there--they will sit and worry about me the whole time. Yesterday, at dusk, I heard a faint voice screaming every so often. I was kinda far away trying to move my temporary fence but decided to head to the house to investigate just in case there was an emergency. Turns out--Aunt Annie thought something happened to me so she got frightened. *sigh* Sometimes--I think it's better to just sneek onto the farm to do what I have to do. I worry far more about them being worried about me and getting worked up at their ages(in their nineties) than I am worried about something happening to me in the field. This is going to be a ongoing challenge...hopefully they will trust me more.
