A snake committed suicide when he put his head underneath my shovel.

I hate when I'm pulling weeds and almost pick up one. I squealed like a girl.
Speaking of snakes, this morning I had to get some gasoline and propane. On my way home a hawk carrying a snake flew right in front of me. I missed hitting it by what looked like just a few inches.
 
I started making some dehydrated tomatoes yesterday. I love eating them.

I finally bought a battery pole saw. It is 40v as some are 20v.

It has a 8.5 in blade. It's not the best in the world, but I'm going to ride it hard and if its going to break, hopefully it will while under warranty.
 
How long does it take before a chain needs sharpening? Its just kind of gnawing at the limbs.
Whenever it gets dull it'll start cutting more slowly. It depends on the type of wood that your sawing, or how often you hit the ground, dirt, etc on how often it needs sharpening. When I was logging I'd sharpen my chain several times a day, more often if I was sawing frozen wood or dirty logs. With your little limbing saw it should go quite a while before it needs to be sharpened. Just keep the chain and bar out of the dirt.
 
I've opened one of my gardens to the chickens for clean up. Another will be ready as soon as I harvest the beans I am leaving for seed.

It's a sad time of year for me. All of the hard work and plans for a great harvest gone for another year.
 
Last week while I was on vacation I had about 200 yards of good top soil delivered to spread out behind the house. Got it all spread out today and it looks like I could use another 100 yards to finish. I've got enough soil stock piled out by the barn to do the front yard too but that'll have to wait until spring time now.
I'm getting the soil from down by the pond. Now that the water level in the pond is low I might have it enlarged too.

Good job.
