Second tilling has been done

August 25th, 2008 · No Comments

I finished the boys playset this weekend, and I got the yard areas tilled pretty thoroughly.  Now I need to finish the fence clearing while I let the grassed areas settle.  This next weekend I’ll get a chance to till again, then it’s time to hand rake and seed!  Hooray!

Well yesterday was fun. A particular point at work had been bothering me for some time now, and yesterday my manager and her manager dragged me into a closed door meeting and talked about upcoming changes. These changes have the potential to really improve the issue I am skirting here today.

Awesome working weekend

August 4th, 2008 · No Comments

This weekend I managed to clear all the scrub under the silver birch trees, till the whole back and side yard, and move all the resulting chaff back into the woods off the trail.  And I managed to clean out most of the garage as well.  Tonight I need to mow the entire property – [...]

Oh yes it’s raking night and the feelings right…

August 1st, 2008 · No Comments

Okay, maybe I’m not really THAT excited.  But I am a little jumpy.  I finished brushhogging the back fields last night and tonight I’m going to scrape all the loose plant material and surface rocks, sticks, etc. to the side for disposal.  After I scrape and shovel all the crud off the surface I am [...]
