Is everyone ALIVE ??

You probably have summer rain to keep everything fresh and it probably looks prettier there this time of year. Here it doesn't rain roughly Easter to Thanksgiving so we start off green. But by late summer everything is brown and it has to be disced or mowed to keep down the fire danger.

That photo above is looking down into the ravine at the back corner of the cultivated land. Its all impassable steep blackberry jungle, big oaks, and eucalyptus, beyond that fence.

Here are some photos I've posted here in the past. Green in winter and spring, dry later. Nearly all my neighbors have converted to grapes over the last few years. I won't, this is a retirement hobby farm (orchard) for me and I like it the way it is.

Some of those pictures are stunning, I would love to come visit your farm to experience that.

Oh, I have been on another tractor forum. Winston and 2 others chime in over there here and there too.

Lots of newbie Yanmar Gray owners out there.

The site isn't just tractors either. There is a very active homesteading section too.

Been busy too ...
