We spent the day tearing down the old fence around the apple orchard. The 180+ trees were never planted correctly so we are planning to re-do it this spring but smaller in scale. The goats had busted through the wires of the electric fence so it was just a matter of finding the remaining wire remnants and pulling up the 40 fence posts (one every 20 feet). There is quite the wild berry incursion along the property line and near the orchard fence - I'll spend some quality time with the walk-behind brush cutter and get those knocked out this spring. Nip them in the bud...
The field looks a lot better. We are expecting decent weather tomorrow as well. Lulu's nephew came out to the farm today to help and the three of us are heading out for breakfast tomorrow and up to the mountain to look around.
Hamburgers for dinner tonight - baked beans Potato Salad - Lulu's doing her recipe (really good!) and all the fixings.
Still feel a cold coming on but it isn't debilitating, just annoying.
