Sunday Labor!!!

Before...

After


God knows that a farm family has to labor seven days a week. We sure would like to rest on that seventh day but we can't seem to fit that in right now.

Today was wonderful because we had help! Not just Bev, Marcy and I slowly clipping, piling and burning twigs...we had Kubota King and chainsaws and mules and someone to operate each one.


Checking out the job, how to do this without damage.

We got one big limb off the house without tearing anything up. Removed several limbs by the old house. Fire wood cut up, limbs burned and places cleaned...not many, but we made a big showing.

One more pecan limb to be cut up and saved for cooking with flavor!

That is amazing to get help. We had the kids remove and cut more on our yard last Thanksgiving. We still have a large pile to get rids of from last years Ice storm. I am so glad we did not have any more heave breaks this year. We don't have allot left to break. Wish we could help ya. But hubby is not up to heavy work any more. Big hug.

Someone getting buried in there or what?

Looks like a good day's work was accomplished. Remember, Sunday's the first day of the week though.

What is that hole? It looks like a grave....

Do you get pecans to eat from those trees? I mean the ones that are still standing, of course.

What progress! Just exactly what is that perfect 'grave' shaped hole in your yard?
