Installed a fence to split the pasture (so half can rest and grow back) – with lots of help from the girls (yay!), gathered up wood scattered across property, planted a huge maple, hung a couple bird houses (one on the back of the tractor barn), took down Christmas decorations, filled a big hole in the pasture, and cooled down playing fetch with the dogs. World’s best gym. :-)

Y’all make sure to get your exercise too. :-)

And it’s a beauty… more pics forthcoming… but for now I’m busy…

replacing the battery on my mothaflippin’ John Deere tractor
figuring out where the brake is on the tractor as a gorgeous, huge blacksnake decided to hide under it
watching a gaggle of geese… ON MY PROPATEE
knocking down a wall in the horse stalls to ready it for twice the number of horses…
just in time to have our three crazies show up, and the old girl Deba to show them the ropes
running for cover as the four horses of the apocalypse duke it out over who eats first – scary!
staring at the fence aisle at Tractor Supply for 2 hours trying to wrap my head around all the options
using said equipment to actually build a fence – successfully, with Richard’s help – around my 7 tractor “implnts” (implements)
basking in the beauty of it all as the sun goes down on some hard days’ work!

We’ll still be in shock for a little while longer, but pretty soon y’all better come on down and see us, ya hear!
