Weed Mowing, Board Making and the Broody Hen

New shelf board

I checked on the new shelf board I epoxied last night to see how it was doing. It’s doing just fine and I’ll work on it a bit later today.

But first I need to do some more weed mowing here.

And here under these apple trees.

I worked on the mowing throughout the day on and off as my body would allow.

I noticed my mulberry tree berries are starting to ripen so I’ll be eating on those soon.

I needed to trim the sides off the new board so I marked it and sawed off the ends.

Then I trimmed the corners and sanded it smooth.

I’ll be replacing this plastic one soon, but not today.

In the evening I finished off the weed mowing and it looks much better.

I’m mostly mowing the weeds for fire protection and so I can get around easier. Looking nice is just extra.

I checked on the broody hen I transferred to the tote box nest last night after dark. She seems to be doing just fine.

I have another hen going broody and I’ll transfer her too as soon as she gathers enough eggs. They seem to like ten to 12 eggs to sit on.

Nice day.
