Year End

Looking in the Year-View Mirror

And it's always about the weather, right? 2011 was slightly better than 2010, weather-wise. We still had a good solid amount of hotter-than-normal, drier-than-normal, followed by wetter-than-normal, an 5.8 earthquake with two named hurricanes thrown in. A couple of these events cut into riding time, too. KC colicked in the heat of Memorial Weekend.

Had a great vacation in June in Cook Forest - although wasn't as prepared as we could have been for that - physically KC and I could have been in better shape, but neither of us had the time to get out there before hand. We had a great time and taking Irene with us was a huge hit, too.

We got so many different things done here but still remaining is the 'lid' over the landscaping bins. This foundation WILL make a great shed, we just haven't had the time nor money to concentrate on getting the roof constructed.

Also remaining on the original list is fencing in the Northeast side and another run-in shed. He has spent so much time and Diesel mowing these fields and the boys could eat it instead. This is going to take another large chunk of time and money to accomplish. We haven't even decided on the type of fencing that we'll apply. We could really use the extra acreage fenced in. We'd then save money on hay, too. Have to spend to save, right?

Saturday Willis is scheduled to help us move the debris piles out of the way, bury it in the tree line - Maybe after that we'll have another bonfire. Those two events will really free up some 'space' around here!
