Yak Watching

Tractor Kitty

A few years ago this very sweet kitty showed up on our farm, one of the many stray cats that have found us over the years. Kitty will follow us wherever we go, loves to walk with us to the back field to see the yaks. She also enjoys making herself comfortable on any farm equipment. I've been trying to get a video of her jumping onto the hammock and swinging herself, very amusing. Of course, when I have the camera with me there is no way to entice her to perform. For those of you that know Snoopy, this calm, loving, gentle cat is his mother. Total opposites.

Finished and Thriving, Greenhouse part 4

Finished and lots of plants growing inside.

Kenny made a nice walkway down the center of the greenhouse.

He also built cedar shelves. Love the way it smells.

Raising the Roof, Greenhouse Part 3

Finally time for the roof, we needed more help at that stage. It was a challenge to get the roof to line up with the wall posts. After the roof was secured it was time for the doors to be hung. Almost finished, just the little things left, like weather stripping, the door latches, but we felt like we accomplished a lot in a day.

Hail Storm

The next post was supposed to be the completion of the greenhouse. The roof is on, lots of plants already started, and pictures will soon follow, but yesterday we experienced a first on the farm and just have to post it. We had been hearing that there was bad weather on the way. With tornadic activity not far from us, the sky looked a little strange and it seemed like the clouds were not moving in their typical direction. I looked out the window to the back field and the yaks were running around. Wishing I had my camera to catch their activity I noticed it was hailing! It started slowly and then just really came down, eventually turning to pouring rain. I'm sure the yaks had no idea what was happening. We had never seen hail like this before. All the animals are fine, including the yaks. And now the greenhouse, only assembled a couple of weeks, has been hail tested, and to our relief, passed.
