Cleanup & Mowing

I started the day by taking the disk off of the tractor and hooking to the bush hog. Then I used the tractor to load some old farm implements on the hay wagon. Linda drove the Mule with the hay wagon behind down to the mum patch. I unloaded the equipment and set the pieces inside Regina's old barn. I used the bush hog to mow around the old barn as Linda lopped some of the limbs off around the barn. Stacey and Linda picked gourds and squash while I finished the bush hogging.
   
After Linda and Stacey were done picking up the tobacco sticks they had used for the tomatoes and getting the gourds out of the patch, I used the bush hog to mow down the weeds and vines that were left. I also mowed the entire area around the mum patch because it's almost time to start digging mums and people will be walking around inside the fence.

We finished the mum patch cleanup and went back to the house, cleaned ourselves up and went to Sonic for burgers and onion rings in the Mustang with the top down. It was a nice ride going up there, but sprinkled a little rain on us coming home. It wasn't enough to cause us to stop and put the top up though. Back at the house Linda talked to Kim on the phone for a long time while Stacey and I watched the NASCAR race.
