Farm life

 5-19-23

Today we picked up right where we left off in the woods. We cleared more brush and then were greeted by trash in the tractor. He used an attachment on his tractor to help us pick up the brush to put in the big pile. The attachment was very helpful and he could pick up the large trees we chopped down with the axe. Augie was very excited to have a new axe and cut down many large trees. We made significant progress on the property. We headed down to go pick up a puppy. Her name is Ziggy and we are giving her social experience on campus. It is necessary for the dogs to have that experience while they are being trained by Mel. We spent some time planning and working on the sign we are creating. We want to mark the trail we created and hope to use the laser engraver to do so. Today was a great day and tired us all out.

 5-17-23 Today we continued our work in the woods. We cleared more of the plateau. We have made significant progress on this area. Trask was able to fill in the beginning of the trail with sand. This helped the mud to settle to so we could get up to the top easier in the mule. We used the chainsaws to clear more brush and smaller trees. We hope to clear the area so the view over the cliff is available. We then made our way to school for sports. The boys went to KUA for their last lacrosse game and I went to Exeter for my final tennis match. Today was another great day working on the farm. Today Hours: 3 hours Total Hours: 42 hours

Farm Life Day 2

 Day 2 5-9-23 Today we woke up at 8:45 and headed out to work at 9am. We headed into the garden where the Christmas tree saplings were planted. We carefully dug them up and separated them into the individual saplings, cleaning off the roots. We transported the saplings across the property to the area we cleared yesterday. We measured plots 6 feet apart and began digging holes. We then planted 40 of the saplings in the plot and watered them. A few puppies joined us in our process and  gave us some puppy love while we worked. After the long 4 hours in the sun with the trees we headed back for lunch and then to school for practice.  Time: 4hrs Total Time: 8.5 hrs

Farm work with friends

  5-8-23 Today we woke up and started our work at 9am. We began clearing brush and debris from an area where the kennel dogs will be able to roam and hang out outside. We worked on clearing out the area and the dead trees for a while before we moved to a different section of the 300 acre property. We began planning the area for planting Christmas trees. We cleared out lots of brush and trees and achieved a clear space to plant in the next few days. We had to take many trips on the tractor to clear the brush to different locations where we saw the multitude of animals. The ranch has pigs, goats, chickens, horses, cows and puppies.  Time: 4 1/2hrs Total Time: 4 1/2hrs
