Good Friday

So on Good Friday, we decided to take our cows in for their shots.  They were due for their shots.  We loaded them up in the trailer and off we went to see the vet.


Waiting in line to get their shots.  Surprisingly it went by pretty quick, even for 6 cows.


The Vet is doing his thang.



Another project we did on Good Friday was that we put in an automatic sprinkler system and laid down some sod.  Let me tell ya, that was a lot of manual labor involved!  We wanted to put sod all around our home so we had to dig trenches all around the home as well for the sprinkler system, and we did it manually!  Man, I'm too old for manual labor.  And after we were done digging trenches we put down some sod.  It sure was tiring, but it was fun being able to work on projects together.  The sprinkler system we went with is the Rainbird sprinkler system that we bought from Home Depot.  So far so good.  It's pretty easy to install.  The hardest part of installing the sprinkler system is digging the trenches.  Other than that, it was not bad at all.  

Digging trenches is not an easy task!

Of course we solicited the help from our children, AKA our little slaves
with digging trenches and laying down sod.  Dirty boots don't go
inside!  They stay outside!

A piece of heaven

We really enjoy living on acreage, though there's always a lot of work to do.  It was a beautiful morning today.  Beautiful sun rise, with beautiful weather, and my hard-working hubby mowing on the tractor.  Life can't get any better than this!  I just want to say how grateful I am to be able to find another place and rebuild after we got flooded about a year and a half ago.



Country living is awesome!  I highly recommend it!




And these Bluebonnets are what Texas is famous for.  They bloom
everywhere around here during spring.
