eorI can't remember all that we did last weekend. The weekends are starting to run together into a mix of pulling, cutting, and burning brush. If I remember right we did a brush burn on Saturday. I also pulled out a bunch of honeysuckle, some rose, and even some buckthorn trees. So all in all, a typical weekend this year.
This weekend I went out and pulled rose up in the forest beyond the wash on Friday and Saturday mornings. I got about half the remaining area beyond the wash cleared out. There really isn't much area left to clean up. Over the last few nights we've canned 15 pints of dilly beans and 5 pints of pickled peppers. Today I'm focusing, for a given value of focus, on getting things cleaned up in the laundry room, a room which is the dumping ground of epic proportions. The whole house has gotten kind of out of control. I've got to take the time to get things inspected, detected, selected, rejected, stacked, filed, and processed.
The days are getting shorter. I'm finding it really pleasant to sleep in now because the birds are no longer inclined to wake us up before 5am. Now they are happy to sleep to a reasonable hour. And I'm happy to have them sleep to a reasonable hour.
