With all the schedule disruption and mud this month, we didn't get much work done on the farm. About all we accomplished were basic maintenance and setting up the Christmas toys.
Since the kids had a lot of extra time on their hands, they came down and helped me out. Sarah's job was to be the archivist and take lots of pictures. Her other job was to sit in the tree stand and help me site a good place to put my new deer feeder.
The feeder works well, but I'm going to have to experiment a bit with the siting. I'd like it to be somewhere close to the tree stand but not so close that the deer get disturbed by my comings and goings.
I still have a lot of cleanup to do around the pond area. One thing I didn't factor in when I made it was that once it filled up with water, I'd be very limited on what I could do to it. Now I'm probably going to have to wait until it dries up in the summer before I can do any serious work. Here's Seth standing on some trees around the pond that I need to finish cutting.
Trying to start one of the brush piles on fire. Believe it or not, after dumping several cups of diesel on the pile, I still couldn't get it to start. It ended up fizzling out. It's tough to get things to burn in Tennessee.
I love driving around the bulldozer. I took a full day off work and just bulldozed all day. One of the best days in recent memory. Having fun and being productive, what better combo could you get.
