As the immortal Jadakiss said, “It’s gonna be a real hot Summer.” It’s before noon and I was doing some light yardwork, maybe cut 10 branches with the loopers, when I came inside my clothes were soaked in sweat from head to toe. We’re not even into June yet. Since infantry training in Fort BenningContinue reading “28 May 2024”

With the riding mower down I still managed to get some smaller tasks done, like the smaller lawn that’s fenced in around the pool. The electric push mower is good for that since I can’t get the riding mower in there anyway. The fenced in grass is probably closer to what most people would considerContinue reading “24 May 2024”

The days are starting to heat up again and there’s nothing like working in a forest where the humidity has no where to go. I was out in the forest this morning with my chainsaw and hedge trimmer combo, there were a couple different path I wanted to extend. The paths weren’t suitable for guestsContinue reading “16 May 2024”

Another satisfying week, for the first time since I’ve moved here over two months ago I’ve finally mowed all of the grass on my property. The grass on the West side gets covered in shade by the tree line leaving it to grow slower. The bees are also on the West side making it theContinue reading “10 May 2024”

All the mowing yesterday went well and so did the podcast recording. We’ll have to change something in the future because currently we start recording at a time that is later than my bedtime. I know I go to sleep early, but sleep when the baby does. The other guys I record with both workContinue reading “19 April 2024”

I’m in a hurry to mow today, yesterday ended up with more resting than I had initially planned and the grass is closing in on me. The grass isn’t too bad though it does bother me, at least I would like to create a lot of different paths in the tall grass that we canContinue reading “18 April 2024”

This week was intense, or as my wife put it, “What week isn’t exhausting?” She’s right, often when I walk the land I can begin to be overwhelmed with the amount of work there is to do. There isn’t as much that needs to be done as I imagine, I could let the woods beContinue reading “12 April 2024”

At the end of the day yesterday my giant green thuja trees were delivered, I had already picked the baby up from daycare and would have to put her to work in the fields. The trees are small for now, but this time next year they could possibly be taller than my peach trees theyContinue reading “11 April 2024”
