July 15, 2015 – I have been working to gain a little more sun light to the barn and to get a little larger turning radius for the camping and corral area. My friend runs the big machine. He runs it as if it were an extension to his own arms – pushing over trees, lifting out stumps, smoothing land – remarkable!
My friend Carlyle really concentrates some times – We enjoy working together – of course we are “Two Grumpy Old Men!” do not tell him I said that. But I have always enjoyed working in the woods – Enen more now – Chainsaws now days are a lot lighter and easier to start and keep sharp then they were years ago when I grew up in Pennsylvania cutting wood to keep our new hatched chickens warm.Digging up stump number one!Got it! Now let us put stump number two on the other end – and off to the burn pit! – the tree is cut up and used for winter warmth – he figures we provided almost a month of fuel for his furnace – even if it is a cold winter!I looked up and saw this “cloud cat” in the sky chasing one of my sea gull friends – as you know I love to see sea gulls – yea, they are a little noisy and some times not so clean but they are the most interesting animals that I see almost any time I look outside and they can hover, dive, glide, – almost anything – that is why I named this one Mr. Livingston.Looked into the woods by our tree clearing project. “Mom told me to stay here.”I tuned my head just a little and my eyes spotted this – “Mom told both of us to stay here”But being kids (I mean fawns) we did not obey – we want to see what that big machine is doing!I love Johnathen Livingston and all those creatures around our home – even the regular toads that visit us every night!
