Picking up speed

Weather, work

A quick blog of after-storm work.

Today Bob, Rebecca, and Andy picked up branches and branches and branches–there were more every time we turned around. We found a few still hung up in trees.

While they did that, I picked up pine cones, buckets, and buckets of pine cones. There were thousands both big and little. There are so many, they will hurt the mower blade. It’s amazing how far things flew away from their original trees, both branches, and pine cones.

We are all very tired, yet there’s more work ahead, but we may need a few more hands cutting the big logs. That’s for another day and another blog.

April 13, 2019 Still looks like winter

Weather

 Snow in April isn’t as much fun for us now as it used to be when we were kids.

Back in ancient times, I loved getting out to sled down the hills around our home. Snowmen were rolled and built, but most fun came from snowball fights with cousins–until I got hit too many times by Cousin George.

Today I’m staying inside trying to figure out how to do some things on my computer. Updating this blog is one of my chores. Hope this posts okay and one or two people check it out.

Who knows how long our newspapers will want my column. The Wisconsin State Farmer has me down to 4 Fridays a months. So if you missed me a couple of weeks ago it was the fifth Friday of March.

Now time to get Bob his 11 am pills…..He’s doing pretty good by the way.
