Yard Work, Some Hiking and Riding and Just Taking It Easy In the forest

Monday September 26, 2022 Guerneville CA.

Some yard work

I got the pruners out and cut a trail through the raspberry patch to get to the berries that are getting ripe.That’s a start. I’ll have to make some more paths, but that’s it for now.patch1

 

I cut back these wild blackberry vines, a never ending task, as they just keep growing back.vines2

 

When I let the chickens out, they went over to this other raspberry patch and started eating the ripe berries near the ground.chickens3

 

I got something to eat and had a nap, then hopped on the dirt bike and rode up into the forest for a ride around the trails and roads.

Riding around

I stopped here to see if I could move that leaning tree off the trail but it was too heavy so I just threw some rocks off the trail.trail4

 

I rode on down to the end of this road and parked he bike and went for a short walk through the forest, just looking around.road6

 

Forest walk

This was the area where I walked on through the woods for some exercise and to  have a look around.trail5

 

Trail work didn’t get done

When I came back I was going to do some work on the trail but sat down and enjoyed the view and the trail work didn’t get done.view8

 

I sat around there until it got late in the day and I just took it easy thinking about stuff.sky9

 

Heading back down the hill

Eventually I thought I better start heading down the hill, taking the long way, of course.

I had to stop and throw some sticks like this off the road.sticks10

 

I rode on up this road and headed on home.trail11

 

Nice day.

Visiting Neighbors and Puttering Around the Yard Type Day

Sunday September 26, 2022 Guerneville CA.

Visiting neighbors

I hopped on the dirt bike to ride up into the hills to visit with my cousin that lives up there. I had some more information about the area in northeastern Nevada she’s interested in. We chatted about that for about an hour then I hopped back on the bike and rode up into the hills even further to another neighbor’s place for a visit. I shot the bull with them for about an hour then rode on home and had something to eat.

After a short nap I went outside to let the chicken’s out into the front yard.

I even let the little chicks out in there for the first time. I usually don’t let them out of their pen as hawks like young chicks. It was late in the day so I figured they would be safe, at least I was hoping so as I haven’t seen any hawks around for awhile now.peeps

 

One of the momma hens kept an eye on them.chickens

 

Raspberries are coming on

My second crop of raspberries are starting to ripen up so I ate some of those. They are just starting to ripen up and it looks like there will be lots of them.raspberries

 

See what I mean? Lots of nice red berries to eat. Yummy.yummies

 

There’s lots of tomatoes ripe too.tomatoes

 

Chicken feed

One of the chores I need to do before this upcoming trip is to mix up some seed for the chickens, so I opened some more sacks and started mixing it up in the blue barrel.feedbarrel

 

That should last my helper for the time I’m gone.feed

 

Van prep

It’s time to start getting things in the van in shape for this trip too. I put all this stuff away and took inventory on what I need to restock for the trip.van

 

Eggs for the trip

I always take a lot of eggs with me. I gathered these up and hauled them off to the refrigerator which I will put in smaller cartons for the trip. I’ll take about six dozen or so with me.eggs

 

Nice day.
