At The Bon-Fire

This past week or so has been extremely nice and sunny.  The ground at Hobble Rock is much more dry and not so slushy in the valley areas.  The lack of rain gave us a chance to do a little more work outdoors.  Last Saturday, my parents went up to do a little work.  Dad brought up some metal pipe that we are going to weld into gates and livestock panels.  Mom worked on the rock wall around her crape myrtle grove.  Dad hooked up the flat bed trailer to the tractor and drove down to load up all the brush we cut a few months ago and dumped it off by the fire pit. 

This past Thursday I went up there with my parents and we had a huge bon-fire!  It was amazing!  We got all that Dad had brought up from what we cut burned in around an hour.  Then we hooked the flat-bed up to the tractor and went down to the bottom of the property to get the random piles of branches that the previous owners had cut and left to rot.  We got about three or four piles of those branches burned and saved back some of the big stuff for firewood. 

I can definitely say we are not anywhere near done.  But what we have done is something.  Something that will help us move forward and make this property a home.
