A Farmer's Work Is Never Done


Just when we think we're "ahead" with the work around here, a new project becomes very apparent.

This morning Don started a new project: limbing the huge Douglas Fir trees that sit on our north property line. This is a huge job...moving the ladder, cutting the limbs off (they're huge), dragging them to the trailer, taking them to the burn pile...and there are 8 trees. It's a job that really needs doing, though. Wind storms from the past 7 years have broken branches off, but they're just hanging on other branches. So, for safety's sake, they need to come down.

Strange that Don chose this weekend, when both of his big boys are gone, to start this job...

That is a huge job! Good that Don can do that - we'd have to "sub" it out!
Yes, having Nate and Dylan to assist would have been good - that's the advantage of big, strapping teenage boys!
Love you!
