Fall Push

You know what the Fall Push is ?!

It's when the first day of Fall arrives and suddenly your feeling

 "Pushed" to do those things you said you were going to all summer,

"Now"! before Winter gets here.

I worked in the old orchard yesterday,cleaning up branches, pine cones

 and cutting our star thistle and blackberries.   We stopped watering it 

a few years ago.  We were putting more into it them we were getting out.  

Not a lot to do there but I try to keep it clean.  It has good grass in
 the spring,  someday I hope to take out the trees and put in pasture.

Ranch Dog and George were not invited to come.

I had some other helpers

Then I moved down to the burn pile.

If you have a farm you most likely have one of theses.

There was a patch of stickers, I'd been putting off cutting.

These Beauties, Spanish Sabers

Next on the list, the woodshed, it's the summer catchall.
Once everything was out, swept the floor, washed down the
 wheel barrows.  Some new tire perhaps ?

 Washed the woodring and  will be giving it a new coat of 

black paint before it go's in the house.

Cut up what wood there was for kindling

and need to start gathering more.

All clean and ready.

In a couple of weeks Youngest Son Zach 

will be home to split firewood.  More new tires!

 He doesn't make it home much and I can't wait to see him.

Well, back at it today.
