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.

Geese friends stop by this time of year.

Angie was confirmed this past week at the Episcopal Cathedral in Atlanta. It was a good excuse to head downtown to the 73rd floor of the Westin hotel to celebrate.

Thanksgiving 2016 is over and almost all of 2016 as well. The older you get the faster time moves. Lets face it. Each day is less of a percentage of my entire memory of my life. Ratios have a way of making a reality. My brother James and I with my plane. A very large (crazy large) lemon from Florida.
