Red Neck City

Note the tight leash on Roscoe who usually runs free on the farm!? I think he could squeeze through the squares on that fence!!

We have a new neighbor who just bought a small lot of land from the farmers and is leasing some extra land to raise meat critters. The pigs arrived, two cows and their babies arrived and the chicken house came. Roscoe would REALLY like to tangle with the pigs!! Have I mentioned lately that he is not right? Goodness, one charge from those pigs and Roscoe would be smooshed!!! Colby and Spur are interested, but just mildly. Roscoe.........he seriously wants in there with them and I don't think it is to play and socialize! We call it "Red Neck City" over there. Nick has his living trailer, two horse trailers, his ATV, all his tractor parts and accessories, piles of lumber for his new house. "Red Neck City". He had to cut trees down on his lot for his house and had it milled for lumber. The foundation has been poured and building will commence soon. Oh to be so young and ambitious! For the moment he and his girlfriend take the ATV to the pond and fill up buckets of water for the critters. Oh MY! However, yesterday I noticed a small generator and pump at the pond, so I think they are pumping it mechanically now. Phew! They still have to load it into barrels and haul over to the critters! She rides on the back, holding the barrels so it doesn't spill. "Red Neck City".

It is nice to see young folks starting to farm. A lost art in this area with mostly older farmers doing it. That makes me sad. Cape Elizabeth has a rich farming background and it stinks to watch the housing developments start to swallow up the farmland. GO NICK!!!
