Trevon Is Puzzled
Yesterday and today were pretty nice for January as the temperature was
near 60 degrees. Yesterday ended up cloudy and then it rained during the
night, still cloudy this morning and then the sky cleared about 9 AM. It
was warm enough that Trevon was riding the trike outside and Linda,
Stacey and him were feeding fish at the pond during the day. I was on
the 4-wheeler and found them in the Mule, so I asked if I could ride
with them and cut some limbs that had fell down. Some were in the
fields, some were on the trail to the top of the hill, and a big one was
clear at the top of the hill. I cut the one in the field and then we
headed up the hill and cut the limb laying on the fence near the lookout
spot. Then we went on up to the top and I stopped the Mule and got out
and cut a piece that was about 14 inches across and 5 feet long. We
pushed it out of the path, cut two more pieces like that and moved them
and then headed back down the hill. I was letting the motor on the Mule
slow us as we were going down the hill, but the motor died and we were
forced to use the brakes. The fuel had all run to the front of the tank
and it needed filled. We coasted to the bottom and when we were on level
ground the motor started back up, and we were able to drive to the
diesel tank. Linda filled the Mule's tank and I started the tractor and
we went to pick up a big rock. It was on a ledge along the creek. I used
the scoop to pick it up and wow, it was bigger than I thought when I had
seen it a couple of days ago. It rocked the rear wheels of the tractor
off the ground. I took it slow and easy all the way back to the house
and dumped the rock where I could pick it up later.
As evening came,
Linda, Stacey and Trevon were working puzzles at the dinning table.
Trevon works puzzles well with a little help and wants to keep
working on them.
In case you didn't know, those last two pictures are of Trevon
putting in the last piece of the puzzle. I had to slow him down so the
camera had time to cycle for the next picture.
