Summer Starting to End on the Farm

Image
It has been good spending time on the farm. I really had forgotten how quiet and dark it is here. It can actually be a bit unnerving. The leaf doodle bug was put to work in the forest. However, it looks like the car will be going back on the road. We can say it failed field trials,but that would only be partially true. The better utility value at this point is more suited to getting a teenager back and forth from high school. The mycological aspects of the farm did not disappoint. The pics of these shrooms are not photoshopped. The coal stove (very heavy) is loaded on the truck. It will be rebuilt in Georgia if I can save it. Coal stoves are increasingly out of production. When they are gone they are gone. The small wood stove is now in its place. The pic of the red sky in morning was indeed a warning of weather. We had strong storms and tornados in Upstate NY. Although I was travelling much that day in the area, I missed the worst of it.

Well getting my internet access straightened around is a big deal. I feel as though I had a big damp blanket pulled off me and now it is time to dry off and and figure out what's next. My antivirus is working again properly - and it is all good (cyberspace speaking).

I got about half of my new heavy duty posted signs up today. I found the property lines ok except for one corner. I have had problems at the corner before too. There is a iron pipe and all that .. I just cant seem to find it. Being color blind doesn't help. I just can't see a lot of the blazes. Maybe I should just buy a GPS again. Borrowing one makes more sense at the moment. I enjoyed my walk. There is nothing quite like it. It is certainly better than TV.

I used my new brush cutter around the pond. All the trees and brush are getting the axe (saw) this fall/winter around the pond. It needs attention based on what I learned in pond school a couple of years back.

The jeep decided to run today. It has a intermittent ground or something for the fuel pump. I did not get anything listed on eBay today like I was planning.

The pics show a "busy intersection" out in the woods that was easy to find and some "shrooms" that decided to sprout near the barn.
