Just messing around the homeplace…

 Memorable Automobiles from The Past:

I never owned one of these but If I could have had a sports car, thie MG would have been it.

For Today...

I had another good fire in the fire pit today. I moved actually about a ton of ‘wet leaves’. I drug a few loads on my tarp ‘ship’. With leg power then I decided to use the John Deere to drag them the 200 feet out into the woods.

After that I took a break and took a selfie (of my feet):

The last big tree to fall into the picnic area I made a dragon or big snake out of it.

Dead falls in the woods will make firewood.

This was the ladder I screwed to the trees for a ladder up to the ‘Tree House’ (actually just a platform) but the grand's loved it. It has been about 25 years methinks, now they are grown into the trees.

It has been a long time since I spent time out here among the trees once they were dormant. It is sorta a strange feeling to see no oak, dogwood and poplar leaves..

We have lost several trees and this is early winter. I think I have mentioned we have several tall trees that can reach the house.  I could fix the house, but if one hit the coach, that would be an OUCH!

 

I missed a few trees as I was cutting the ivy vines last year. I got bit by a copperhead doing it last year, but it is easy to see the ones I missed now. The Ivy is still green.

I noticed my split wood pile was a little short, so I decided to see if an 82 year old man could still split wood.

Ready to split:

Results:

So yep I can, so I did a few wheelbarrow loads..
