Another new tree

This is our second new tree, same kind as the first. It's also about the same size and came from the same place. They only had two left today when we picked it up.
A matching pair for the front yard. Other than the trench filling and getting the grass to grow, all the landscaping work is finished for this year. We still have a couple of things in pots that will be planted when Lynne decides where she wants them.

Work on the Homefront

This is the bag of grass seed I picked up at Ag-Wood this morning. It was very reasonably priced at $10 for a 25lb bag. I hope it grows well.
You can see the seeds here if you look for the little long seeds in the mud. I don't have a broadcast spreader, so I was tossing them out by hand. As muddy and soft as everything is right now, I probably couldn't use a spreader anyway.

More mundane chores. The Subaru got an oil change today. It was overdue. Lynne forgot to say something when it was coming time to change it, then forgot about it for a while. We did Heather's truck today, too.

We have a new tree



This is our new tree- a scarlet maple being planted in the front yard. Heather is in the background walking the horses back to the pasture after getting their feet done.

This is a different angle that is easier to tell where it is in the front yard. The yard is still squishy from all the rain, so it should be well watered.

End of February

Here is the boat in it's new parking spot. We got a new cover for it so it can stay out of the barn and the horses can stay in the barn (if they want to).
And we have a new "sidewalk". At least we can get out to the driveway without sinking into the mud now. This is progress!

More driveway work

Nothing complicated- just shoveling the gravel out of the truck and into the holes and ruts.
I found it to be easier to take the tailgate off the truck to unload. There. Another ton in the driveway.

Filling in the driveway ruts

We had some mud issues the last week with all the rain we got. I had to park out by the road because the driveway was so soft.

A very big Kawasaki loader. Each scoop with that bucket was probably over 5 tons. I didn't get a full scoop.
I got a ton and filled in the biggest ruts with it. I still need more, but we can use the driveway again.

New door and Morehead gun show

This was a couple of weeks ago, but we finally got Heather's bathroom door changed. The old one was falling apart and we got an old door from Lisa that fit. Heather got to nail the trim back up by herself.

Today's entertainment was the gun show in Morehead. It was a small place, as expected. I found a few thing that I wish I could have bought and a some information that may prove useful.
It was right here in downtown Morehead, about 15 miles east of Owingsville.
