Variables

2/14/07 - 4th Day - After Breakfast. Hey y'all. We've had some pretty variable weather here. Warm 70's for a couple days, then a cold front will come through and cool it down. This morning it was 27 degrees. We've been working at adding another pig pen and pig run, as well as working on the upper door of the root cellar. Yesterday we castrated our first bull calf, which was interesting. In addition, we have had company here from Oregon. Mihai's brother, sister-in-law, and their son are visiting. So we've had a pretty full plate here.

Today we have to go buy groceries for the fellas, and we are going to build the upper door for the root cellar so we can begin to seal the whole thing in preparation for covering it with dirt. With the temps here in the 30's and 20's, the root cellar stayed above 50 most of the time. It will be even more stable when it is properly sealed and covered.

Starting next week, if the Lord wills, we will likely begin building a larger catchwater system, hopefully so we can have it finished by the time the rainy season starts.

It seems like time is flying and we have so much to do before spring. Ranchfest is coming soon too.

I hope all is well with you all,

Michael Bunker
