Life on the Ranch - still fencing.....

You might remember a post on our Fencing project?

( if not - here you go...  Fences

I really really thought we would be done quickly, but it turns out that real life, sports and this little thing called weather can really mess a person's plans up!!  I get laughed at a lot, although I have lived here for a really long time... those sunny days confuse me, and make me believe that winter is not coming.

I.... was.... wrong....

we went from this.... ( see the crazy boy wearing shorts in the end of November?)

to this:

Almost overnight!!

Maybe you can't tell by the snow that is blown. that the wind came with it.   And the ice!

None the less, we were brave souls - and the men continued to dig post holes, while I clipped the wires.   

You know, that every job needs an inspector right?   Kittie is making sure the poles are level. That is the MOST important part of the fence to a cow.... if it's not level, they will definitely try to break through.

My friend called her a pole cat - bwahh haa haa!  

 Here she is again, making sure the post hole is deep enough before we set the next one. She is very particular about depth - she wants all of the posts to be the Exact! Same! Height!  

I am sure that is why we pay her the big bucks!

And guess what??? We still aren't done! We are certainly getting a LOT closer to the end! 

Please..... send...... chocolate.......
