Living in the country and on a small Farm is a great way of life. I love it!

We have horses, a few cattle, dogs, and cats.

There is always something to do, we spend a lot of time outside. So sit back and enjoy the view " From My Front Porch"

Work the Land

We just worked up my Grandmothers garden. We eat what we grow.


We worked it up the old fashion way; using horse power (really). First we had to get the horse ready, to do this I had to comb and harness Dan (the star of this story).






Next we have to get to our garden spot; so we leave the barn and walk to where the garden is.




Once there we will work up the ground and level it out. You then need to add a little weight.

Hey Check out Dan's mustache these horses really grow them every winter!


Anyway I worked the garden for three hours, I can't even began to think what it would be like to work the land like they did in the early 1900's  from sunup to sundown.

I think Dan is tired; I know I am so now it time to take him back to the barn and let him cool down.

That's it for now, You all come back real soon!
