We were blessed to acquire her from our friends at Little Creek Farm. We love her. She is a favorite of ours! Can you tell why?

PJ Time – Book Review

PJ Time book cover

My kids are no longer little! Where did time go? At the ages they are now (15, 17, & 20), bedtimes don’t look anything like they used to! No one is getting a bedtime story and needing to be tucked in anymore.

We started by disking the ground with the tractor all the way around the areas that we intended to burn. This gave some barrier around the area to hopefully stop the fire if it attempted to cross. We also set the fire so that it would back burn. By back burning, the fire would burn against the wind instead of with the direction of the wind. This way, it would take longer to burn, but had less of a chance of getting out of control.
