The Farm Pics for Doomer Wanted
1. So here’s the panoramic view from the rooftop facing NNE. Where the pasture meets the road and trees is the most northeast point on the property. TV antenna is a relic that I haven’t taken down. The pink bloom trees are the peaches I saved from frost death by stoking a burn barrel by them all last night.
2. Due North. Rocks now, weeds later. 200 feet of onions in, some spinach trying to come up, turnips etc. Goofy wheat patch just for the experimental aspect. A perennial strawberry patch, some garlic, and a bunch of potatoes that are teasing me by not coming up.
3. NW The new meter base, the Camo Beast garden tractor, straw bales for archery practice, some old incinerater/BBQ grill thing, and the hay shed way off in the distance.
4. WNW Foreground: New metal shed roof project and new pond liner for the wife’s witch patch. The bell pole. The guest house/ garage. Notice chimney – solid brick and 8″ clay tile lined. Small pear trees protected from frost. Goat paddock behind house.
5. West view Old pig farrowing houses commandeered by the goats. The barn. Standard equipment on all old farmsteads – 9N tractor with dead motor. The open door on the barn is where the chickens live. Background is the pine grove.
6. SW Lovely redbud tree blocking the view of my junk zone/ compost world. Rafferty’s treehouse.
7. South view down the ravine.
8. SE More ravine and the highway out front.
9. ESE Driveway and the neighbor’s house across the road.
10. East view. The ‘front yard” that we grow up and cut twice a year for goat hay.
11. NE. One of these days I’ll put the lightning rod system back up from when I re-roofed the place. Hmmm. Time to clean out the gutters.
12. Garage. Hard to see but there is the James Washer on top of the Pioneer Maid cookstove. Goat milking stand and goat food trash can.
13. “Napping House” Here’s your digs.
14. Other side of the napping house. I’ll get the toys out of there for you! Maybe install a quarter meter for the propane heater, bwahaha.
15. Vince, the cock of the walk. New Hampshire Red.
16. Jack the Ass… “Hey, it may be a goat ghetto, but it’s MY goat ghetto”. Worm bin on the right.
