Moving Logs and Branches

September 28, 2025

Yesterday (Saturday, September 27), Bruce and I decided to do more work in the back pasture.

Bruce hooked the cart to the lawnmower and drove to the back pasture. He loaded a few logs into the cart and drove them close to where we plan to put in a new garden bed. He repeated this process several times.

I moved branches that would fit into the chipper into a pile next to the pile of chips. It was hard work pulling the branches loose from other branches.

I pulled the last of pine number one’s branches to this new pile.

Earlier in the week, Bruce cleared more around pine number two.

On the way back to the house, I stopped long enough to get pictures of some of the logs from the cut-up pine number one.

I did some work on the picture of Juneau and the sunflowers.

The eyes in the picture don’t look right to me. I’ll need to determine why. I think Juneau’s left eye needs to come down just a tad.

Bruce suggested we move the trees he cut down on the south fence. I stopped my drawing and went to help. We moved the trees to the burn pile area.

I checked on the passion fruit. Two of the fruits had fallen to the ground. They weren’t fully ripe, so they were more sour than sweet. They were still good.

I was walking down the hallway and Nox was walking towards me.

She was ready for me to pick her up. I carried her outside so she could do Nox things.

After Nox finished, I gave Nox a treat in a ball to keep her busy.

Bruce and I headed to Rural King to get gloves for both of us and boots for Bruce.

My current garden gloves started falling apart. I wanted a pair that wasn’t thin mesh on the back that fire ants could sting through. More protection from the evil fire ants is good!

Bruce found a pair of boots he liked, but they didn’t have his size.

As we came out of Rural King, the sunset was a beautiful blend of orange and gold.

We are out and then went to Lowe’s. We picked up some fire ant poison and stone pavers.

My back had started complaining and I was happy to get home.

Pulling all the branches around must’ve been too much for it. Bruce put Absorbine Jr on it and that helped enough that I was able to get to sleep.

I woke up this morning with my back feeling fully recovered. My left shoulder is still hurting some.

I decided to take it easy and just be lazy today. I don’t want to push it and find myself in pain again.

I spent today catching up on my blog.
