I got a few pics of our place to share, this is outside Wagener, SC.

Jim, all those pictures look very familiar to me. They could be shot in TX just as easy as SC. I have wild trumpet vine growing alongside a little creek on the back side of my place. Also, those wild blackberries look tasty. I do think ours have bigger thorns though.

My grandmother and uncle both used to have one of those push plows. When I was a kid, I plowed their gardens for them several times using one of those. As I remember, I worked half a day plowing for about $2. I thought I was rich.

My grandmother and uncle both used to have one of those push plows.

We had one and my granddad had one. We had one blade that simply laid out the rows by making a little trench to plant the seed in. We changed to a cultivator blade the rest of the year. I preferred using that to using a garden hoe. So about 10 years ago, I thought I wanted one of those again and in the first place I had a hard time finding one, and then when I did find a new one and learned what the price was, I realized I really didn't want it nearly as much as I thought I did.

I did use that hand plow to plant my garden last year, this year I will use a new MF 1332 instead. Delivery is to be Monday on the 1332. I was hopping it would be here this weekend because turkey season is about to come in and that is where I will be then. LOL

I shot two armadillos in my wife's flower garden last night and tossed their carcasses out behind the barn.

This morning, I walked out and saw something on one of the dead armadillos. It was a male Bald Eagle. Went back in to get the camera and another male had already showed up. Here is the photo of the two male Bald Eagles chomping some armidillo:

A little while later, a huge female came in, she was much bigger than either of the males and all three of them had a good meal.

Some migrating ducks moving through my front pond...

You can see the dead grass above the waterline - Ike completely submerged our entire property - but this is a very hearty wetland area that is recovering much faster than the rest of the property.

Strangely enough - these ducks have stopped migrating and have been nesting on this pond for goin on 5 weeks. I am hoping they stay but doubt they will.

I have been wanting a disc to use on my food plots and my dad said I could have his father in laws old one. I am thrilled! I am also getting a plow and a cultivator that are perfect for my tractor. They all have Dearborn tags on them and I think they are from the 40's. It's all solid and heavy! He is also making me take a short section of railroad rail, said they used it to weigh down the disc.

As you can tell it's been a while since they moved. I will call these the before pix as I plan to repair as necessary and give then a coat of Ford blue to match my tractor. Did I say I was thrilled?

Nice find, they look like solid and capable implements.
