Sissy & Bubba's Farmstead

This is smoking Ed's company. He is the guy that originally hybridized and perfected the Carolina reaper so that it produces true to type

I also bought Chellie a T shirt as well as some Carolina reaper, yellow ghost pepper and Thai Chilli seeds. I am thinking about growing them in pots so I can keep them alive year round.

Check out my dumb decision. I can't wait to try it. I'm hoping to convince a guy from church to do it with me on saturday😂😁

Poor Sky is ready to have yer babies

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah Psalm 46:1 - 3 ESV https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/psa.46.1-3/80665?version=59

A Farmer's Prayer Lord, bless this land you've given me And may I always know, As I tend each crop and critter, You're the one who helps them grow. Grant me the strength and wisdom, Please protect me from all harm. And thank you, Lord For your precious gift. The blessing of my farm Robin Fogle

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah Psalm 46:10 - 11 ESV https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/psa.46.10-11/296?version=59

So the thing is aptly called a gate anchor 😂

The final gate is hung!

2 gates hung so far! May r may jt be able to hang the last one. Chrllie is looking to see if she can find another lag bolt as I am one short. Gonna leave for work a bit early and stop by the hardware store and get some gate wheels and some hose clamps to attach wire to the black pipe gate so baby goats can't escape and one other thing but I honestly don't know what it's called so I will just have to show yall when I get it 😁

In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8 ESV https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/psa.4.8/88784?version=59

IT'S FINISHED!!!!!

When a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. Proverbs 16:7 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/pro.16.7.ESV

The Fence That Me and Shorty Built We'd picked up all the fencing tools And staples off the road An extra roll of "bob" wire Was the last thing left to load. I drew a sleeve across my face To wipe away the dirt. The young man who was helping me Was tuckin' in his shirt. I turned around to him and said, "This fence is finally done, With five new strands of "bob" wire Shinin' proudly in the sun. The wire is runnin' straight and tight With every post in line. The kinda job you're proud of, One that stands the test of time. " The kid was not impressed at all, He stared off into space. Reminded me of years ago, Another time and place. I called myself a cowboy, I was full of buck and bawl. I didn't think my hands would fit Post augers and a maul. They sent me out with Shorty And the ranch fence building crew. Well, I was quite insulted And before the day was through, I let him know that I'm a cowboy "This ain't what I do. I ain't no dadgummed nestor, I hired out to buckaroo. " He said, "We'll talk about that son, When we get in tonight. Right now you pick them augers up. It's either that or fight. " Boy, I was digging post holes Faster than a Georgia mole. But if a rock got in my way, I simply moved the hole. So when the cowboys set the posts, The line went in and out. Old Shorty's face got fiery red And I can hear him shout, "Nobody but a fool would build A fence that isn't straight. I ain't got no use for someone who ain't, Pullin' his own weight. " I thought for sure he'd hit me; Glad he didn't have a gun. I looked around to find a place Where I could duck and run. But Shorty walked up to me Just as calm as he could be, Said, " Son, I need to talk to you, Let's find ourselves a tree. " He rolled a Bull Durham cigarette As we sat on the ground. He took himself a puff or two Then slowly looked around. "Son, I ain't much on schoolin', Didn't get too far with that. But there's a lot of learnin' Hidden underneath this hat. I got it all the hard way, Every bump and bruise and fall. Now some of it was easy, But then most weren't fun a'tall. But one thing I always got From every job I've done, Is do the best I can each day And try to make it fun. I know that bustin' through them rocks Ain't what you like to do. By gettin' mad you've made it tough On me and all the crew. Now you hired on to cowboy And you think you've got the stuff. You told him you're a good hand And the boss has called your bluff. So how's that gonna make you look When he comes ridin' through, And he asks me who dug those holes And I say it was you Now we could let it go like this And take the easy route. But doin' things the easy way Ain't what it's all about. The boss expects a job well done From every man he's hired. He'll let you slide by once or twice, Then one day you'll get fired. If you're not proud of what you do You won't amount to much. You'll bounce around from job to job Just slightly out of touch. Come mornin' let's re-dig those holes And get that fence in line. And you and I will save two jobs, Those bein' yours and mine. And someday you'll come ridin' through And look across this land, And see a fence that's laid out straight And know you had a hand. In something that's withstood the years, Then proud and free from guilt, You'll smile and say, "Boys, that's the fence That me and Shorty built. " Red Steagall

Beautiful fence line

As promised better pictures of what we got done the other day, plus I added a wheel to the gate today. Chellie and I went for a walk today and I climbed on the old downed oak that we have on the property. It's a shame that it fell since it was probably several hundred years old. Also there is a courtesy picture of my wife running away from having her picture taken 😂. She was playing with her new toy a 14ft pole saw
