Jared got a extra Monday off! And WOW did we make good use of it! It was also the best we have every work together before and truly a wonderful bonding experience.
Our project corner for the day! Our goal was to clean it up so we can fence it in for the cows.
Before:
The picture is a bit deceiving as there is a bunch of firewood in the tall grass that can't been seen very well. It took us about 3 hours to move it all closer to the wood shed...with the help of the tractor!
The boat is officially a toy boat and got moved to the play area to be.
Anyone want to guess what we found when we moved the boat? More garbage!!!! Surprise Surprise!
We cleaned out the A frame, so the cows can use it for shade. We also removed as many board hidden in the grass as we could find, there were a few odd piles here and there. There was also two stacks of beams hiding along the side fence, some of which got added to our ever growing junk pile and some which got moved closer to the garden to be used for future raised garden beds.
The ugly pole that hasn't had much purpose since we took Nova's "zipline" down was removed!!! It was very exciting brainwave to realize we could just pull it up with the tractor! We also learned that all but one of tires are movable so now the play area is open for ideas and imagination!
So far I'm not thrilled with the current rearrangement and am back brainstorming.
After: just beautiful rolling green hills for the cows!
We took a break as Hazel went down for a late nap, and I had promised a friend to help move a few things to her new place. But once we had rested a bit and had dinner we were both itching to get the fence started that we had planned, so that evening we got 10 posts into the ground, which would be about 100ft of fence once we get the wire up.
The next evening we got 10 more posts in going toward the side fence. Just have 4 more posts to put in but Jared needs to do some weed wacking and dirt moving before we can get them in.
