A Dock for Noah's Ark

I'm not kidding.    It looks as though we are building a place for good 'ole Noah to dock his ark out in front of our house.    We've been busy putting in those 8' posts I showed you a few days ago as we create more pasture.   Until the tension fencing goes on the posts it looks like we are getting ready to dock a huge vessel.    And it doesn't help that we haven't cut off the extra length from the tops of each post, so, they rise up pretty high above the ground.  You should see the looks we are getting from the local farmers as they drive by wondering what those city people are doing now.

 See what I mean?   And where we need extra bracing for corners we have two posts, making it look more and more like a dock.   At least it does to this ole' Florida girl.
Thank goodness for the post hole digger attachment we put can put on and off of Joel's bigger tractor.  
 Toot toot......can you hear the blaring of a boat's horn?
Yup, that's a lot of posts.   Now, today, we hope to get started on the tension wire.   This is totally different from all the pasture we created last summer using wire fencing.    Soon I should be able to show you the difference.    
And remember when I told you I'd get a better shot of the barrel and petunias?   Well, here it is.   Ok, now you're all caught up with our latest work projects.

More about our latest animal acquisition tomorrow!
