Well, Well
Well, well. The two older ones on Stauffer still have it. Dennis and I worked side by side on the blue barn acre over the noon. It was amazing how much we achieved by picking up small sticks and branches and added that to the huge pile Brett had made with the skid loader.
What will be interesting in time is seeing all the Kudzu vines that will be turning brown. I and our lopper sniped off countless vines that were rooted at the base of trees. Many of the vines that have already turned brown since we began working on the lot will need to be pulled out of the trees with the help of the little red pickup. I think securing the end of vines, with I am not sure what at this time, and having them pulled out of the trees will make a huge impact. Some of the vines are as round as a quarter with a spindly root going into the ground no larger than a piece of twine.
So that was our two hour exercise for this Monday. No one was was injured by this. It felt good to work side by side in the shade under the canopy of huge trees.
I am enjoying the last of the breakfast coffee and will soon settle into my bedroom porch, perched on my cherry red chair, reading a bit. I will admit my hands are weary and there will be no hand stitching this afternoon.
We have agreed on a Subway supper. Sweet!
