Another trip between Georgia and the New York farm

Its unusual that I make the trip this late in the year. Although it is highly unlikely it would snow (and bring the road salt and all the other bad stuff). It is often rainy. I had excellent weather. The main objective was to bring the brush hog up and mow trails. The trails have been disapearing and there are a number of bush islands appearing everywhere a small finish mower can't do the job. The tractor worked well. Back up over a multiflora rose bush with the brush hog up and drop it down and take care of business --at least for another couple of year or so. I spent many hours years ago yanking these things out of the ground with tractor and chain which yields a more satisfactory long term outcome. I will be doing the same with the largest ones for sure. I understand that these bushes were originally planted as a natural fence. Animals and humans alike don't like the thorns. They are invasive.

Last night I gave fawna an injection of steroids we got from the vet. We got some fluids into her and she ate some. (I also exercised her legs. That was the first time I ever gave an injection. It was a little scary but it went well. She hardly jumped. Douglas is coming down to help Bonnie today. They will put fawna in the sling I am sure. The animal acupuncturist will be over on Thursday.

We got about a foot of snow last night. Although I still got to work on time, I feel disoriented. I forgot my watch, my belt, and the coal bags. I have a lot going on at work, that is stressful.
