Here is the first of many loads of hay from our pasture. We can get one good cutting a year, the weeds take over too much after that! We enjoy being organic, but pay a price for that.

Susan Takes Honey for a walk
Our 57 acres is divided into three basic segments. The lake sets in the center of the property, flanked by a sloping pasture on either side. North of the dam is a rocky, steep set of slopes cut in two by the creek flowing from our lake. It is thickly wooded, and almost impassable. We leave it wild, as a place for our deer and foxes and other wild-lings.
It is much broader than tall, and I should prune it a bit. It has it's own character though, and I'm reluctant to make any big changes. I may put a few more of these along this edge of the lake, but further back from the water.
Honey found something tasty under the pine tree. Susan couldn't tell me what it was, but Honey rooted there for a long time.
Susan was having trouble getting Honey to come along. Whatever she had dug up under the pine was just to good to leave behind.

| This Stump is usually under water. Most of the time, only the small slivers of wood will show. I'm conflicted about taking out or not. The lake being low gives me a chance to get rid of an obstacle to the paddle boat, but it may serve as a fish gathering spot. What do you think? |
