Fence Post Trimming

We cut all the fence posts on the driveway fence to be the same height above the wire.

 We didn't get any pictures of the actual trimming, we had our hands full. Lisa drove the 4-wheeler with the generator on the trailer and I walked along with the electric chainsaw. We picked up the tops on the way back up.

 Tillie and her daughter Kim. You can see the family resemblance. The little bantam hen is named "Bird".


 The ducks are doing well. We're having fun with them. They like to play in the mud. We're trying to walk them out into the pasture every day toward the pond. They still aren't interested in going very far.

 Luna loves the ducks.

 We lit the burn barrel for the first time this morning. It isn't green any more.

 It worked. Everything got burned up.

 The transplanted strawberries are blooming.

 We were worried the transplant would be too traumatic for them to bear fruit this year. It looks like we might get some from them after all.

 The onions are coming up too. These are large sweet onions.

  3. Jim & Lisa,
    It is funny that you trimmed the posts, because I had it on my list for summer projects and was just thinking about it a day before you posted it. Guess I can check that one off the list!!
