Fresh air and exercise

We put in a hard days work yesterday. But it was another beautiful day, and it felt good to be outdoors and to get some exercise. Sure, we do a lot of hiking in the off season, and that's good for the leg muscles and aerobics, but our upper body muscles tend to get a little soft.

I expect that area will firm up a little over the next couple of weeks!

Our tree trimmers had been in at some point and left piles of logs all over. They had to be moved, and the easiest way was with our old Beverly Hillbillies truck. Hard to  believe it's a 50 year old truck. It fired right up, and off to work we went...

Kevin, loading up the truck.

The hydraulic dump box works great!

Yep, it's empty.

This September I'll spend some time cutting and splitting those logs and stacking them in our firewood shed for use in 2016.

I planted some grass seed in some patchy areas outside the office. Want to get that area landscaped and looking good. There needs to be some kind of distinction between where the grass stops and the gravel begins. Meanwhile, Ruth was doing some raking and burning some of the leaves and twigs.

Also, want to build a couple of speed bumps on the road out front of the office and playground. Despite the signs, people still drive too fast through there and we know from our experience driving in Mexico that speed bumps work!

Lots to do.

Walked up to the top of one of the hills at dusk yesterday evening.

Looks like it's raining on the other side of the lake.

Full moon in the sky.

And an interesting sunset sky.

A great deal on Amazon.com this morning....a pre-seasoned cast iron skillet. It comes ready to use, and it's made in the USA. Great for cooking over a campfire!
