Road base and fence posts

To alleviate our problem of getting the van and big trailer stuck in the sand, we had a couple of loads of road base delivered out to the land. While I tried to spread a little around with a shovel, I realized the job was too big for my out of shape body, and we are waiting to spread it out when we rent the skid steer on Saturday.

We are still working on the culvert, adding rocks to keep the sand from filling it, and to keep big trucks from driving over the edges.

We also put in some fence posts to get ready to string up the field fence and make a few pens for the critters. Richard did a wonderful job on the H braces on either side of the driveway.

We are still packing and moving stuff a little at a time. Fairy Dust still has not dropped her kid, but every day we are convinced it will be today. Coco is doing well, hopping and jumping about like a baby goat should. His disbudding took well and it looks like we won't have to do it again. He's a nice looking buckling.

Our 1650 gallon cistern was delivered to the rental farm today.  Now, we have to figure out how to get it to the land near Alamosa. I am hoping it will fit in the big stock trailer.

Richard finally found a well pump he thinks will work with our one solar panel we have been dragging around with us. It's ordered and on its way.

We are cleaning and prepping the camper and getting ready to move little stuff in. It's time. In fact, time is running fast now and we have 30 days to pull this altogether and get ourselves and our entire farm moved.

Time is running on the Indiegogo campaign too (31 days left), and it seems like there isn't enough interest there, but thanks again to those who have contributed. Maybe people are financially strapped. Maybe people are simply afraid (of what? It's all legal. It's not marijuana.). Or maybe people just don't know that Hemp has the potential to save our ailing planet and endangered humanity. In any case, the Hemp Project marches forward. We will carry on, no matter how much funding we get, although every little bit helps.
