 We got the step rail in last week so David and I installed it yesterday. Now Mawmaw can hold on when she goes in and out to the garden

I removed the protector sleeves from the Chestnut trees. The new growth was very twisted in them. Using stakes and ties will protect the spindly trees till they can achieve some strength. David and I got a lot of mowing done and I sprayed the kudzu across from the old house. Next trip up I will need to mow the old house lawns. I started the install of the quick hitch on the 284. Some modification of the implements was necessary and some expense but the result should make attaching them less stressful for my shoulder and forearms.

Another week of doing the routine stuff that must be done to keep the farm. It is a losing proposition. It races ahead of any effort one can manage. Keeping stuff working is a full time job. We got the screen door screening replaced. I replaced the tines on the TroyBilt tiller. I also got some mowing done.

I arrived Monday afternoon and managed to get the grass mowed around the old house. I used the finish mower with the old thicker belt I need to go back and sharpen the blades but after a little warm up, it mowed the whole yard. I had planned to bush hog around the old barn but rain came in Tuesday morning and continued until almost 3pm. So Wednesday I was able to do a lot of little items.  I got the brakes sorted. Again. I also took care of 2 groundhogs David let me know we got the big one this evening. Maybe it will make a dent.
