So far, so good

After some adjustments and hooking the mower up to the tractor, old John Deere #5 is working. It's a lot more work than with the disk-mower; Cliff has to keep his head turned all the time, looking back. And there are frequent stops to unclog the thing. But at least the hay is going to get mowed... I hope.

busy times around here

That's the porch being added onto the front of our home. I wonder if the roof will be added tomorrow?

In the evening, I can sit on my front porch and watch the horses in their favorite lounging area. We have no idea why they don't go to a nice, shady spot. Oh no, they'd rather stand in the direct sun in the heat of the day so they can make life difficult for Cliff when he wants to get a tractor through that gate.


Cliff is mowing the grass/clover field as I type this. We call that particular tractor "Big Ugly" because that's what it is: big and ugly. Actually I got that name from somebody on a message board, and I don't think they were talking about a tractor. But it fits the old Case, anyhow.
