January 19,2017 We have fence and gates!

Really boring to say, but this blog isn't only philosophical ranting, we do histrionics too.

I got on Craig's List this morning and beat every other scavenger to the punch. I bought one hundred feet of five foot used chain link, two large and one small gate, about eighty feet of top rail, and a two gallon bucket of parts, All for just $100. Saving maybe eight hundred dollars and checking off one more thing necessary for us to move to the Farm.

We will still need parts to make a fence of it, but there is at least a front gate and dog run in the mess - o - parts some where. The gates I will do pretty soon. The dog run gets built once the tiny home is in place. ~Then we move.~

Another thing: WE had a ton of snow followed by a few days to settle in, followed by freezing rain, followed by maybe two and a half inches of very warm rain, all within a few days. So the West Fork of Dairy Creek is about to over top the banks in places with all of the rain and snow melt coming down at one time. . .  But not at our Farm!

We still have about five feet of bank left. This isn't as high as the creek will go. I hear that in 1996 the creek came almost to the top of the bank. But a great many fields and barns would have to go under for us to have flooding. Another reason to think that they got the elevation of the place all wrong.

Someday nobody will ever read this again.
