Boy do I know that feeling

So our 'growing things' continues to be of the feathered variety. Hoping this link works...

I whish my dog was that gentle. He is  a brute, although he tolerates the chickens it is only sometimes. They have learned to stay out of his ropes length

Pretty cool fisherlady. As Clint said, our rat dog would play cat and mouse with them. I'm sure the pigs would devour them.
Nice concrete set up you got going.
I hope to retire someday.

Time is never on my side so it's mostly ball to the wall. Wasn't expecting to do wood duty tonight but 1 -3 miles from my house, tree services are cutting all along power lines. Got 3 loads tonight, there are probably another 10 loads here and there. Mostly ash and maple.
I hope there is some left tomorrow because I'm beat and still have much to do before sun goes down.

Ps, it's rained here about every 3rd day alyay on a weekend. Steady soaking but days like Sat , Monday and today dry things up quickly .

It's been a sow week due to the heat. I have one more planting of corn, beans and peas next week to stagger them so I don't get everything at once. I opened up another 1/4 acre. For next year for corn and 1/4 acre for some fruit trees in the fall, just trying to level it out so I can mow between them.  pig is getting big. Strawberries are doing pretty good. Unfiltered outside spigot is in so I don't plug my house filters with watering garden.  I am shocking my well today due to iron bacteria so no water for a day. Back to work next week to rest. On a side note a POSSIBLE trip to Ontario in August may be shaping up

I don't know what the neighbor uses for fertilizer but the field to my south was dirt brown and had nothing but some weeds growing, two days ago. Today that field is green with 6" high corn.

As for me. no more garden to play in the dirt, so to keep busy I've been running my weed eater.

Danged if these birds didn't build their nest right in the path I need to get my boat out of the garage. 😩

Man I wish I had some equipment here. Most everything I do has to be done by manual labor. Thankfully I at least have a lot splitter and atv.
Yesterday evening was garden detail. Today will be all firewood all day as I think I have a helper at least he better help if he wants to burn wood this winter.

Here are a few pictures on how the garden is progressing. Still some more to do but it's a good start.

Some more

Man I wish I had your kind of energy. lol.

Building/planting raised gardens, planting fruit trees, creating a mini-piggery and raising two hogs, splitting fire wood and maintaining an inground pool??? Speaking of hogs let's not forget those stripers.

Gardens look good HT and those pigs sure are getting big. I can see it now, BBQ pork steaks, grilled veggies, blackened striper...... when's the pool party, buddy? 😜

Well like I said , I'll sleep when I'm dead. It's all outdoors, all the time for me :).
Just finished making and adding soil to another planter . Time to put the chaps on so i don't do this again with the chainsaw and get going on wood detail .
