Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

.6” rain since four, maybe another 1/4” or so overnight.
Went TSC to pick up dog and cat food, litter and treats, had a very heavy downpour coming home.
We had taquitos, refried beans and fiesta corn and nachos for dinner, lots of salsa, enchilada sauce and sour cream.

Rick,
looking good. Is the area outside the fence yours also?
if so, boy do you have job security, and you already had that...
I would call that a glade now, sure looks nice.

growing up my Dad used to call this beating back Mother Nature. If we didn't, the woods would creep in and slowly take over the house.

The pictures are from inside one of our pastures .. about 20 acres. This one .. is our experiment. Other than fence lines and yaupon / cedar removal .. no herbicide has been used, on this pasture.

We've done nothing but mow it .. 2-3 times a year. When we bought this place, in 2006, it was nothing but 3' high goat weed.

Edit: I read your question again and realized what you had asked. The pasture on left side is my neighbors. Even his .. looks way better than what we started with.

Good evening all. 54F for the start, overcast, and windy. Windy day, sky started clearing mid morning wind dies off at dark. High temp for the day was 65F. 80's next week. Forgot to mention yesterday's activities, that included catching gopher out of his hole. He did not run away so the battle ended quickly. Today start with Men's meeting , then bike ride to beat the worst of the wind, then nap after lunch.

The youngest in my house is first to get a COVID shot. What’s wrong with this picture?

.2” of rain, they had forecasted up to 2”. Dots matter

 

[check]

What is your fuel for heat during the boil down?

Good question. Haven’t decided. Have a propane Turkey fryer, but that would take forever. Any ideas, guys?

Congrats on getting shot, RS

Mowing works, Rick, but it sure doesn’t take long if you can’t keep up. I’ve already noticed guava seedlings 6+ inches since my last mowing.

Good morning, looks like we are back to cooler windy weather. fortunately no rain in forecast for newt few days, may soon be able to get some muck spreading done on the hay fields.

Arms are aching this morning from an excess of chainsaw and pole sawing to get tree work over April 1st deadline. I failed to get it all finished - although not a badly as I have failed in previous years

Don, that is a creepy playground, like something from the Addams Family

Noticed my cap had fresh bloodstains, now when did that happen?

Vampires too in the playground !

Morning all!
43 here going to 50's with dark dreary skies for the day.
Cold and windy in the forecast so conserving energy is where it's at!
Feeling better as I got some sleep last night. Arm is sore but survivable.
If they told me a tetanus shot and a pneumonia shot at the same time would kick your butt I would have waited on one of them!
Looks like wife and I will be venturing out to do some shopping. We need to restock some supplies in case of another lockdown.
Still have a lot of branches to pick up from the downed tree and the whole yard needs raking.
We just lost a good friend and neighbor to her 2 year fight with cancer! They made 50 years married just a few weeks ago. He's fighting cancer also!(Vietnam vet!)
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy.
