On Thursday I made my way over to the farm by myself, Lois was out of town so I got up at and was out of the house by 5:18 am. It had been raining in the Nashville area for the last 2 days and I hoped it rained at the farm. If it was raining there when I got there so be it I would just do some fishing. When I got there it wasn't raining although it had rained some the day before so I didn't have to do any watering of plants. I did take some pictures of the areas that I sprayed with the brush killer last week. It is starting to work.
Next I decided to do some weed eating around some of the plants as the weeds are trying to take over. I got some of them done when the weed eater broke. So I am going to have to get that fixed.
Next I loaded up the chainsaw, some fencing material and headed for the back of the farm as I knew that there were 2 spots there that trees/limbs had knocked down the fence. I got there and got the trees off the fence. I ended up fixing the fence in 5 spots, I still have to get about 5 fence posts to
fix it better. I then moved along the west side of the property where two different trees had fallen down, one was almost on the fence. It was a twenty foot tall elm tree. The other tree had the fence attached to it, it was a 30 foot tall cedar tree. I got started on the elm tree and had it cut up in no time, it probably took another 1 1/2 hrs to finish the cedar tree. It was hard work but I was glad when it was done.
Once I was done with that I went back to the barn and loaded up my rifle and a target. I went to the area down below the south pond. I then went to an area that was about 100 yds from the target and sited in the rifle. I hadn't done this in over 20 yrs. It was a lot of fun.
Next I went to the barn and loaded up the memory discs for the game cameras. When I got the camera by the mineral holes I had to take some pictures of these holes. It is amazing how deep these holes have gotten as you will see from the pictures. The holes are 8 - 10 inches deep and now the deer have dug them out another 6 inch's deeper as you will see in the pics.
I was a little disappointed by the game camera at the south pond, as it didn't have any pictures on it. The camera that I put in the oak grove had 4 pictures on it, only one of an deer, the other three were at night and you could see nothing. I found out that after looking at the camera that it is aimed at a slight angle up. I need to get it so it is level.
While I was checking the cameras I noticed these yellow flowers blooming in different spots so I took some pictures of these and you will see how pretty they are.
Also while I was looking at the flowers I noticed the pine trees that I had trimmed around. These trees had grown over a foot since the spring, the two that I took pictures were now taller than me.
Here are the some pictures from the cameras
