Neighbor’s road work

I’d told a neighbor that I’d brush his old road and get it ready so a truck could use it.

The skidder was parked here by this spring, ready to move more brush off the road.

I shouldn’t have parked Hondo so close as later I backed into it with the skidder lifting one side off the ground before I saw was happening. Lucky, no damage was done, but it was close, close enough to do some real damage.

I’d just finished getting all the brush off this road and was done for the day. I still have a bit of touch up to do, but not today as I was beat and it was almost five, quitting time.

A drink

I was thirsty, so I headed for home stopping at this spring for a drink of water.

I drink down a cup of water and then headed for home.

Nice day.

Canning

I went over to visit my neighbor Dominique this morning. I found her canning peaches.

These are fresh off the trees.

She has a big ol stove to work on and seems to be enjoying her work.

This is how she moves the jars of peaches around, especially when they are hot.

I don’t remember if she was just starting these or they were just finishing up.

Pickles

I didn’t get any peaches, but I did get a jar of fermented pickles she’d just made which were yummy.

Later

I was outside in the yard when I heard some one calling next door, so I  had a look to see who was calling.

I found these tree guys getting ready to go to work on some of Tom’s trees at his driveway entrance.

They just pulled the chipper in and were getting it set up to chip.

The guys are lowering these smaller trees to keep them from hitting the power lines above.

Eventually, Tom showed up. He wanted them to save the tree logs and not cut them up as he has something he wants to do with them.

I spent the rest of the day puttering around the yard.

Nice day.
