Good morning!!!!

[kenmbz]

Morning all, sunny and warm.

Now that the mower is ready for action and fully welded, I am working on the raking and cleanup.
Raked out the front beds for about5 barrows full.

Started the garden raking, that is a bit more work as the brickwork makes it hard to use the metal rake. But I need to use it to get the more stubborn grasses and stems cleared.

Then took the tractor for a spin to dig a big hole for a large bush being delivered this week.

4 hours straight work and still did not get to planting anything.....Still catching up.

Sorry to hear that Buppies. I hope their removal goes well. What a pain.

Stay safe and be well,

One of the complaints for the BH thumb was it limits the amount of dirt you can dig.
I had absolutely no problems digging a 4 foot by 4foot round hole. So not sure why other are having problems. I still need to trim the end off one bolt in order to fully stow the thumb, but it is pretty far back even without using that last hole.
Picked up some big sticks without getting off the tractor. So nice !

I've been watching long enough now so that I recognize properties when their prices change, and I'm seeing a fair number of price reductions. All those rising prices are pushing people out of the market, so maybe sales will slow until things get back to more realistic levels. That's how it's supposed to work, anyway.

The interest rates will push some out of the market so prices on some properties will drop.

I watch the market in my areas pretty closely. Prices drop on SOME properties every day. But most, especially nice ones are still drawing multiple offers over asking prices.

One nice place (nice but not spectacular) I would say would appeal to most middle class buyers wanting a few acres and a decent house went on the market for $320k. 7 acres with a 3 stall horse barn. Rock and cedar 2 BR house about 1800+ feet. Nice level, cleared lot, fully fenced, some x fence, Rock entrance with gravel drive way. 2 car carport with a large area above for storage.
It drew 14 offers in a week. The buyer got it for $350k, in cash, waived inspections and is paying most closing costs. He said he was selling gold to pay for it.

I expected it to go for more. If it’s nice it will bring all the money.

Most of the morning chores are done...mower is still charging, but that's expected. That normally take 2-3 hours
Neighbor borrowed my aerator, but also something expected. I'll be aerating my lawn soon too
Dropped the blade off and put the loader bucket on for the summer. If I need the forks, I'll rig them as necessary
Garage is pretty much cleaned out...still need to get rid of a bunch of boxes though. Might just burn then though
Reckon I'm pretty much done for today...time for a shot and a beer

Didn’t take long to charge ZT battery enough to start it, then moved charger to truck. Dug out a heavier extension cord.

Mowed the front and side, everything I didn’t do when I did back and field Friday think this is 3rd mowing except field which is 1. Wasn’t planning on mowing today though, now all dirty

Still no halyard on flag pole.

Lying on porch swing with a little breeze and wind chimes singing.
