An Hour Before Daylight

I know it's not an hour before daylight now, but I have already done a load of clothes, set up and started the irrigation (sprinkler, still haven't fixed any of the soakers), made coffee, caught up on my devotionals, and just now realized I need to go post today's devo for WPC.

I need a detached workshop so I can work on stuff during this time. Actually, putting an under deck roof on the deck would do. I really want to refrain from putting any structures in the yard for now. I want to get what needs to go gone (stumps that have turned into gigantic bushes and the ivy in the corner) before I add much of anything. 

A Little Farming, A Little Chilling

Farmer Small and Farmer Big chillin' like villains (or pirates) in the pirate deck boat.

The Latest Addition to the Farm

Kristi brought this pepper home yesterday. Gonna put this one in a planter and watch it take off.

Slowly I'm Getting the Garden Under Control.

I let the garden get a little ahead of me. Slowly, but surely, I'm getting the weeds down and manageable. I'm going to try and get the mantis running to help get the big weeds out of the way. Otherwise it will be elbow grease and Lucy hoe for me.

All In A Days Work

This is my first client's (neighbor) front yard. It's nice and small. The backyard is about half an acre though. Just got the front done yesterday. Busy, busy, busy doing Extended School Year, getting the yard, having a dishwasher delivered, and picking the kids up. I've been doing this yard for a month now. I'm picking up a new yard today. Hopefully the will come geometrically, not arithmetically.

Dr. Livingston I Presume

I played Stanley to my trailer's Dr. Livingston. I pulled that bad boy out of the jungle behind the Japanese Maples at Mom and Dad's. It had a regular Maple or two growing through the tailgate. The wiring had provided a feast or two for local varmints. The lights had been demolished and the floor no longer existed in this dimension. Hey, the tires however hold air and have tread (after a fashion). There was one small valve problem. It failed.
All things being equal the rescue was a success since the picture you see is in the back yard in Rome. With some excellent guys from Meineke in Roswell, up in front of M&D's, providing some handy welding the repairs went more quickly than I expected.
Yes, the lawnmower on the trailer used to live on the carport. It was the cargo for the test run. Next will be a swap of the Toro for my JD tractor. The JD deck is being untrue so the tractor will have to stay with Mom till the end of the season or the deck gets leveled, whichever comes first.
