Diary Of Our Land Transformation #2 : More Mowing and Filling Ruts

 Today began cold and frigid, but once the sun came out it got a bit better. I did a quick run to Chick-Fil-A for chicken minis for everyone for breakfast as Our granddaughter, Jel, and great-grands, Daniel and Samantha, came to help hubby today and accomplished a lot (although we still have probably more than 1/2 the property to mow). That's a lot of overgrown pasture, that's for sure.

Jel and Samantha commandeered the lawnmower


and did some straight up and downs, front to back, and then some meanderings down by the marshland and creek. Daniel took charge of the tractor,

and made a small hit on an overgrown dirt pile, that he got buckets of soil from to fill the ruts in the dirt road from the front of the property,

with hubby levelling the spots out and then me, in my trusty Serendipity, going back and forth over them to pack the dirt in real well.  Trust me, my Kia Soul is a farm car, she LOVES doing this stuff!

We took some fencing over and one of the plants in pots, tomorrow we plan on taking more plants over, it's supposed to rain Monday so they'll be able to sit and get a good soaking, and on a nicer day, in a few weeks, we'll plant them out along fencelines to grow into bushes.
