Silseth Family Farm: November 2016

Sunday, November 20, 2016

We like happy cows.

These ladies and their calves are very happy!

Who wouldn't be with all the sunshine and warm weather?!

I'm sure they will be complaining

when the change comes tomorrow night and Friday.

(I know I will be anyway!)

There was work to do.

Hershey wasn't interested.

So she laid in the warm sunshine with her kittens

and supervised the work.

The oil needed changed and the tires needed rotated on the big van.

Ben got Elsie started on that.

Ben and Hannah worked on washing up

all of the equipment

to get it ready for winter storage.

Hannah liked the power washing part of it.

I think everything it tucked away for winter now.

It was long past time to put a light out in the shed yard

so the chores don't have to be done in complete darkness.

Thursday was the chosen day.

After choosing the right pole from the pile

Ben moved the pole to the corn crib

and then Paul and Ben dug the hole.

The pole was plopped in the hole.

They got it plumbed,

built the non-OSHA approved scaffolding,

and climbed up to get ready to cut off the top.

The top was cut off to make it the right height.

Luke had the rope that was connected to the top.

Tools had to be brought up.

The light was connected

and half of the wiring was done.

But we were short one somethingerother

so it will have to be finished today.
