Philosopher and Shepherd. I think deep and I raise sheep.

That's odd. I've never had a meme dream.

I have. I think that this one will be similar to what I was wanting to do in the tiny house just bigger. And now I have enough room to build bathroom with a shower. So that's exciting.

I haven't fully planned out the living space yet but I'm going to wall off about 5 feet in on the left there where the doors are and make a space for batteries, inverter, etc for the solar and also some storage. The rest of it will become the living space. It's a 40 ft high cube so there is plenty of room.

Ok, let's try this again.

Dorpers but most likely not pure bred. I got a little starter pack from a neighbor (1 male, 2 females). When it's time to replace the male I'll buy a pure bred and build from there. They are a fairly popular breed where I live.

Yes. I've had three births out here so far and all of them have been just one.

You put them online is where you put them. Garlic is sold out almost everywhere and expensive when you find it. Depending on the type I suppose. I just bought 4 heads of "Music" for 25 bucks.

New addition to the homestead yesterday.

To a point. Since it was a cropland when I got it there is a hardpan about a foot and a half down. I typically dig holes starting with a gas powered auger and once I hit hardpand I fill the hole with water and come back the next day. It takes 4-5 days to get a 3 ft hole. Good thing I'm not in a hurry.

I've seen this before and I do plan on trying something similar in the future. I don't have a tractor either or I would have dug some swales at this point. I dug a very small pond at the base of the natural swale on my property but it's only filled up twice in 6 years. I just keep trying stuff. I'm not allowed to utilize the aluvial water and the water table out there is around 380 feet so wells are quite expensive.

In the few years that I have lived here I have planted around 100 (bare root) trees of various types. I've tried from seed as well but the real problem is that I don't have a well yet and I get around 14 inches of rain a year. It's a high desert. And this all used to be cropland and I'm trying to restore it back to prarie grass. Which also isn't working.

What's worse is every person there will kill time by scrolling on their perfectly good phone while waiting to go in to spend $1500 on basically the same phone.
