Welcome to the Ranch!

      Welcome to 2 Moore's Ranch to any of the new Blog readers or Face book readers. We bought this place back in Feb. A double wide, shop building , garage and barn on 5 acres.  We have done a lot of work around the place.  It was all over grown and needed a lot of cleaning up.  We mow the majority of it except for some of the front yard.  The prairie grass looks really pretty when it is blowing in the breeze or more than often the Panhandle wind.
       We raise animals for food here.  Chickens and ducks for eggs and meat. Rabbits for meat and then also Guinea Fowl for bug patrol and letting us know if something strange is around.

      Saturday I asked Ranch guy to help me trim a bush that I had wanted to trim for awhile.  It was an out of control Chaste Tree that had become a huge bush!  Got to where I was even afraid to walk around it because you could not see what was under it.  I dragged our little red ranch wagon over to it along with my gloves.
     Then he started cutting.  When those limbs started coming off boy did I get a surprise.  My little wagon was not going to do it. Ranch guy had to go get the tractor and a are big trailer. Once we trimmed the bush and then several other trees the trailer was over loaded.

     We have started getting cold nights here and I know that the flowers are putting on their last shows.  I have been cutting and enjoying some of them in the house and taking lots of pictures of them.  I am so very happy with how my flower gardens have done this first year here.

      Along with getting pics of the flowers I have gotten some of the animals in with the flowers also.  The animals have all been willing subjects for my photos. Whether they are after butterflies or other bugs They all seem to be in the right place at the right time.

You going to open that gate and let us out??

     Rabbit barn got a new layer of straw last night for the buns to run and play in.  They also have a barrel cut in half and a dog house taken apart for them to run and play in.

  You can always tell when it is dinner time in the barn.  When you walk in they run in circles until they get fed and then they just pile on the hay feeder and go crazy.  Its amazing that they can all get around the feeder.

Bunny Mob!

     After our rains last week the lower parts of the shooting berm became a pond for the ducks.  When ever we needed to find them last week , that's where they were.

Until next week,
The 2 Moore's Ranch
