Baby Calves

 Yesterday my son-in-law brought over two babies. One was born that day, the other the day before.  Holstein boys.  We've taught them to drink from a bucket.  However, this afternoon they both are laying around lethargic.  Come to find out the dairy rips them from mama without getting their colostrum.  I hope they pull through.  I went in and pet them for a while.



We hired a contractor to grub our weeds.  The plan is to put in grow boxes and garden in the front yard.  The south side will have berries all along the property line.  A fruit orchard will go in front of the goat pen.  Need to do some planting.



We closed on our 10-acre property in Park Valley on April 28th.  Tuesday we met with Raft River Electric to install a power pole.  That will happen in about 3 weeks.  Not sure if we're going to start with a shipping container or a shed.  The shed will be a 20' x 20' and be our tiny house until we can build a small house.  Both Steve and I agreed that everything has to be paid in cash for the Park Valley property.  So, I've got to earn some moolah.  Probably going full-time at the post office.  They're hurting for employees and I've staved them off long enough.


Shed would look something like this.


Small 1200 sq ft home would definitely be this one.

As a side note, I've told Steve that if our current home ever values at $1.2 mil we're selling and retiring to the property.  HA. Just kidding, but not.
