Another trip between Georgia and the New York farm

Image
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.
Directional Drilling: Leaders in Directional Drilling I havn't blogged much this week. Fawna is slowing signs of slight improvement. However, she still cannot stand up by herself. I will give her an accupuncture treatment again today. I am also bring the temp in the llamahouse up to 80 today to see it that helps her any. We ran out of coal and wood this week. Bonnie and I agree that we really missed the stove heat. We will be back in gear this weekend with wood and coal.
Fawna is doing a little better. She still cannot get up on her own but we are hopeful she will be able. We got some more acupuncture needles (controlled in NY, I wonder if pins are..) I will give her the acupuncture treatment tonight or tomorrow.

Car Talk: Windows Media Fawna was terrible last night. Today she is much better. WE are trying to figure out why she was so bad last night. Me may never know. Today it is 30 degrees!!! Above zero!!!!! The boys were frolicing and pronking. By the time I got the camera they were just running around a bit. It is so much fun to watch. Click on the photo for a short video.
