We've had a few showers in the past couple of weeks. Only one storm was enough to call it rain -- and the spring is still dry as a bone -- but there's enough water in the stream so I was able to refill the lower (main) pond and divert the clear stuff into the house. It was getting old showering in the brownish, tannic acid-laden water from the upper pond!
Then I fired up Clementine and culled some of the sugar maple and black cherry saplings down around the house. I used to cut them down with the Husky chainsaw, but that let little stumps to trip over. So now I hook a tow chain to em and rip the 10-15' trees right out of the ground. Works much better and gives the chickens bugs to attack.
Lastly, I began skidding logs out of the woods and stacking them off the ground for next winter's firewood supply. Now that I have water, this will occupy me for the remainder of the weekend. Sure is different than life on the submarine!!!
