P.S. We had big winds last week. Today I WAS going to pick up the fallen branches and get them into the brush pile but I was having too much ‘help’ from the puppies!

One branch on the pile, three dragged back into the yard!

How I EVER survived SEVEN underfoot is still a mystery to me! The landscaping around the house that year did NOT survive! Beau believes in raising ‘free range puppies’ and that works out well for the most part. And he never complains when I replace shrubbery and such. ;)

Lots of branches down! Some are big enough I am going to have to bring an electric (battery) pole saw up here to cut them up.

After much thought about the mower dilemma, I think it makes the most sense to try to get Little Buddy going - LB will fit in the trailer. It will be miserable mowing without a zero turn, but with only 3 acres vs. 10, Clyde needs to stay at the old house until we are truly gone at which point my brother will have to figure something out. If I could trailer Clyde up here every 2 weeks, that would be perfect, but the 60” deck won’t fit in my 5’ trailer. LB is 48”. Also, I have a little trailer for LB which would be great for picking up debris. I need to get a new battery, fix a flat tire & drain old gas, put in some fresh & see if LB will run. If not, I will have to call in some extra help (bro).

Wind still blowing pretty bad - supposed to ease off by tomorrow noon. I probably won’t sleep well tonight.
