Posts are in

We got an earlier start on the fence today. First we finished digging the holes, then planting the posts and tamping the dirt down. The post hole near the silo is not very deep. We ran into a pile of bricks at 2 feet, but it will have to do because we ran into a huge boulder next to that spot.

We need to let the post settle, so we switched to taking care of the overgrown area which will be new pasture. We almost mowed down a nest of 3 red wing black birds. There was debri and rocks that had to be picked up. I cut down the burdock, vines other weeds. It's starting to look like something.

Fencing barnyard

I took today and Monday off work to *finally* do the permanent fencing in the barnyard area. There are 2 areas we need to work on. One between the 2 barns which will be wooden, and one along the
east side which will be stretched wire with a gate. The temporary fencing we put in when we first bought the horses is looking pretty unsightly, but its lasted 5 years! This project is so past due.

At least, that's the plan. Bob had a different idea for today, though. After some house cleaning, he golfed nine holes with our friends, Jan and Jeff. I finished cleaning the cherries and joined them for the second nine. I just drove the golf cart since I injured my leg last weekend (it was too much golf, nothing to do with the horses). Then dinner at Grizzly's.
