Station

This time I'm writing a blog with no picture, and it will probably even be short, imagine that. Mike found out on Wednesday that we are going to be stationed here. We do not know all of the details though since he really doesn't know which unit he will be in.

So we are pursuing a home off post where we will be sharing 20 acres of desert with our friends the Mitchell's. So far so good on the progress. We are hoping to be moved into there by June 1st, but nothing is set in stone right now.

The Mitchell's aslo desire to do small time short term farming. It will seem odd putting animals out on the sandy desert rather than the lush green pastures back in New Hampshire. One very beneficial thing here is that almost all hay here is alfalfa which is very good for milking animals.

Saturday we have planned to meet a family here who is already established with horses, goats, lamas, etc. and get some ideas from them about how raising animals will be different here than in New Hampshire.

Well, I guess I tried to make it short.
