I know, I know!!

I know I have not been posting too "thoroughly" lately.
But I have been busy.
Well, busy for me.
Well..Not really.
I've just been lazy.
But you'll never guess what I've been doing!
I've been building a fence. Yes, that's right, I've been building a fence all by myself.
That includes cutting down tree's for fence posts, digging holes, stretching wire. Tacking the wire on. Et cetera, et cetera.
I'm only to the planning and digging holes today, but tomorrow I will dig even MORE holes and plan even MORE things.
So, the fence is 150' x 170' (roughly) and I am putting a post every 14 feet, so there are 24 holes on the long sides and 20 on the short side. Each hole has to be 2 feet deep and each hole takes me roughly half an hour to dig (if I dig straight through without stopping).
I am all for work, but digging those holes is definitely strenuous. Mostly because you have to push down while turning and pushing sideways.
Alas, tis a hard ranchers life.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to go Shakespeare on you there. But I am a fan of Shakespeare. I love Shakespeare. I'm reading Hamlet right now. I read A Midsummer Night's Dream yesterday. Because I love Shakespeare.
So if I have time between finishing Hamlet, digging 44 holes and working with the horses, I'll blog.

You can count on me because, I love Shakespeare.
