Well, with the first night of bad rain getting ready to come, I made sure that Bear, the Guardian of the Farm, had a good shelter. I set up two dog houses, one for sleeping (yes that is one of our bedroom pillows for her) and one for food (no one likes mushy kibble). Their backs are to the wind. There is also a 5 gallon heated water dish, for later this year and there is the possibility of adding a small heat lamp to the sleeping shelter. I'll plug them both into a thermo cube so they don't come on until it gets really cold and then turn off after it warms up.
Don't know what a thermo cube is? More to follow on those.
We're a small family mini-farm located in Meade County, KY. We are raising chickens and turkeys, growing organic vegetables, started an apple orchard and produce woodworking projects. We are God fearing Christians who love the Lord and want to honor Him through our families life. Keep coming back for more of our updates, some simple how-to suggestions and a laugh or two.

Bear's Compound
Red's shelter
Took some time this weekend to improve Red's shelter. We moved it further downhill other of the wind. I also had to dig it in on the windy side to level it. Now hours water is out of the sun, less chance for growing bad stuff. Also his feed and sweet feed are in there. Should be good for my shelter shy friend.
