Evaluation Lap
After Linda and Stacey left this morning, I decided to take Daisy for a
run around the farm and see what I needed to do. I let Daisy loose down
by the creek and then drove the Mule around the hay fields and back in
the 'holler'.
The
hay has been rolled and I have used the scoop on the tractor and the
bush hog behind to slide all of the big pieces of debris out of the hay
fields and bush hogged the smaller pieces so that the fields are ready
for the next round of hay. I need to use the bush hog around the edges
of the fields and mow back in the 'holler'. Next, I rode down to the mum
patch and checked out the work I did yesterday morning from 5 AM to 7 AM
tilling the mums. We had lost a few due to the hard rains, but I believe
we still have over a thousand alive. Regina and Linda had planted the
pumpkins yesterday and also cleaned out the cabbage and tomato plants.
I
finished my ride by going around the hay fields across the creek and
watching a deer graze on the hay. I returned to the farm and put the
Mule in the barn after taking the garbage cans to the edge of the road
for pickup later today. As I walked towards the door, I snapped a
picture of the flowers along our front walk.
