A gate to the pasture, right in my back yard

Ever since we've moved out here behind the barn, I've wanted a walk-through gate close by, to get out to the pasture.  The way we've been doing it, you walk way out to the east and around a fence post.  If it's been raining, you have no choice but to walk through mud.  
A gate just hasn't been high on the list of priorities.  
Yesterday, though, it happened.  We already had the gate; it was no longer needed in the particular spot it was in.   Cliff actually did most of the work in the garage, framing the gate and preparing it for a latch that we haven't yet purchased.  

Next he had to dig a couple of holes.  Notice Iris, trying to get Cliff to stop his work and throw the silly ball for her.  "It's all about me," she thinks.

He's getting ready to measure the depth of the hole with his tape measure.  

After cutting the existing fence, he brought out the frame.  I don't know how Cliff would get anything done without a tractor.  

As it happened, one hole had to be dug a little deeper, so he moved the frame out of the way and dug some more.  Notice Bonnie and Clyde grazing nearby.  

That's much better.  The horses are hanging around thinking, "Oh, a new gate?  Perhaps we can make our escape."  

Here's how the gate looked this morning.   We went today and got seed for that fallow plot in the background ($140).  We found out there's a new farm store open in Odessa where Feldman's used to be, and we are so happy for that.  Unfortunately, they won't have the gate latch we want for thirty days; at present they mostly just have livestock feed.  We'll pick up the latch somewhere else.  We stopped at the veteranarian's office because I wanted to pick up some calf-scours pills.  Not for Clyde, but for the bobby calf I should be getting before long.  You can't raise bobby calves without having scours treatments on hand.   
Then we went on to Lexington and got some Sakrete, which Cliff put in the post holes to stabilize the posts.  While there, I dug into my "fun" envelope and got out enough money for a footlong sub at Subway.  Cliff and I will each have half of that for our supper tonight.  
It's an absolutely perfect day, and much has been accomplished.
