Life on the farm is kind of laid back

We done went and bought a farm. Or maybe a ranch I am not sure. It has 14 acres a small brook that runs by the side of it. A few pine trees and lots of grass. 10 acres are fenced so we can have a cow or 3. It has a chicken coop, barn, shop, a small house that needs lots of work and even an outhouse. It is 60 miles north of Spokane, and 15 miles from lake Roosevelt. For the short term we will be cleaning it up so we can spent more time there. Everyone is welcome to stop by and stay a spell, it will just be more like camping than living in a house for awhile.

The garage that when we get it open we will put our boat in.

Wild! Are you really going to get cows? Looks like a really pretty place.

David said...

I hope to get some beef cows. I think it would be good for the kids to take care of them.

Kristi said...

How would you take care of them from so far away? Can I get a tofu cow and pasture it there? =)

David said...

You are welcome to get a tofu cow. As long as you have water and grass I don't think cows are a lot of care. I think we will be there lots in the summer. We would not keep them in the winter. Beef its whats for dinner.

It must be a very small house....I cant even see it in any pictures.

This is Lana-our cabin has an open door. No invite necessary-all are welcome. You may have to bring what you need for a while, but it is dry and warm-a step up from camping, but not much. Mike, it is big enough to hold everyone. It is very close to Canada so bring your passports.

Oh, it is beautiful! I really want to come and visit. Plan on us stopping by next summer:) We'll check out Kristi's tofu cow.

I never know what you ate going to do next. Are you hiring any farmers. I'm scared of chickens , but pretty good with cows. In fact I may be the only sibling that has actually milked a cow (?) I also know how to make homemade icecream and butter .... Yesterday I tried cheese, but that is pretty darn hard and will need more practice.

David said...

I have milked a cow once or twice. I have even milked a goat before I think a milk cow would be a lot of work for this laid back farmer. But if I get one we would have lots of extra milk so you would have to show us how to make cheese.

Mike I will try to take a photo of the house one of these next days
