Defining Pastures And Morning Glories

And another too long gap between posts. I'd like to post every day. But progress on most things is just so slow that I don't have anything to post about every day. One reason I don't do youtube anymore. But here's what I've been doing the past couple of days. In video format.



We've been at our property for 3 1/2 years now and I've been thinking and thinking on how I'm going to have what pastures set up. This will be a perfect area for the pigs because it stays semi wet for a good portion of the year so they'll have lots of mud to roll in. It's also an area that I don't really mind them tearing up.

Not sure how long it's going to take me to get the pig pasture completely done. I want to fence it all in with welded wire fencing and u-posts and then wood on the top and bottom to hold the wire up nice and sturdy. The wood will also give me a place to put the plastic wire holders like I have in the current pig area. Then when I don't want the pigs to breed, I'll keep my boar in the smaller fenced area.

But it's going to take me a while to be able to buy all of the wood, u-posts and wire that I'm going to need. So for now I'm just going to move the electric wire and then go from there.

I haven't been doing the transcription the past couple of days either because I've been doing the stuff out in the yard. Tomorrow I'm going to have to force myself to get some transcription done. It's not much money, but it's something that will forward my projects. I have to keep remembering that. It's not the transcription itself that I don't like. It's having to spend hours online just to get those couple of good transcriptions that will give me enough money to make it worth it.

Anyway, on a better note. These is the arbor/gateway that I built last year. Our wisteria has been growing up it nicely all year. It didn't flower this year because it's so young still. Maybe next year. But the morning glories are making up for it. In the morning (hence, morning glory) these guys are all over the arbor. By noon, they have faded and it's just the green again. But it's so nice to see that splash of color in the morning.



And I nice up close picture of what they look like.


Anyway, almost bed time. Take care all and have a good night.
