Deep breath!
If you try Rainier again I MIGHT train with you.
Hell, surely some other codgers have made it up there before, eh?

Good Morning All - another gorgeous sunrise here :) Early night last night which was bliss. Weight 176.44 - so going down. Expect to drop some more over the next few days with all the activity planned.
We went and bought Steel Mesh Tree Guards after work yesterday. Should mean we can safely plant some Gum trees in the front paddock and they shall remain cow proof. Have 4 to test the theory, If they work, more will be purchased.
Today will be planting all day and maybe some mowing. We are about to have some Mushrooms and poached eggs to fill our bellies before we get into it. No frost this morning so Im thankful. Always harder to work when your hands are frozen - Hello Winter

I love all this land and the really long lane! I have memories of running down a long lane because the bus was coming and and being late for the bus was the worst.
You will enjoy those trees for years. The guards look quite capable of keeping them protected.

I love having land around us - looking over green paddocks - its my peace n solitude - dont want to go back to the city
This section is one of the 2 in the front of our property and is around 220 yards long by around 4 yards wide. The Tree line is for a wind break and also shade for the cattle when they are in that paddock feeding.
We also planted 4 gums in the middle of the paddock protected by steel mesh guards - hoping it works and the cows dont make them dinner

Hey all! I forgot to weigh, but did so after a cup of coffee. But then I stopped for ice cream today when I drove past a little ice cream shop in a minuscule village with a sign out front that said "Open for the season and hoping for business". How could I not stop?? And, ice cream. Plus it was a gorgeous warm day and kind of called for it. So I had a scoop of Michigan Pothole ice cream (chocolate with fudge, crushed Oreo and chocolate chunks), my favorite I can only get here. I regret nothing!
Today's gardening included planting some mint (in a pot, I learned my lesson years ago not to put it in a bed) and planting a terrarium with moss from the yard and one tiny plant I bought. So cute.
I also started replacing kitchen cabinet knobs and realized I bought the wrong size of half of them. So back those need to go with a trip to Home Depot to buy the right kind tomorrow.
Here are some pics from today...
It's lilac season here:
