50 something year old female homesteader in East Texas fumbling my way through outdoor adventures after major life changes threw me curve balls.

Well, hey there. It's been a minute since I have checked in so thought I would drop by and knock self isolating off- I'm annoying my damn self!

Pops and I have made huge progress around here, and then the sky opened and it hasn't freaking closed in what seems like forever. Tractor went in for warranty work so can't cut or do anything there anyway but the swampy, humidity is just rude and offensive at this point. Mosquitoes are forming a union. Its wild over here. Forecast next week not looking much better either.

Will have goat kids for sale if anyone is interested. Lots of other stuff too, come to think of it. I will post pics later this weekend. Equipment, western horse paintings, Mason jars, motorcycle decor, anything else I find in the meantime. Have month old chicks, too.

Tackling my bird yard next week, even if I need a snorkel.

Had beautiful visitors cut through the highline this evening at dusk. Rascal was not pleased but sat quietly watching 2 deer with me from the living room window. Need to buy red clover seed. I love watching them. Oh and squirrels seem to be back and my family of crows is growing! Want to put platforms up for them!

Hope everyone is doing well. Its been heavy around here but hoping for good news this week and still putting one foot in front of the other! Say hello, catch me up! Bonus points for pics from your world! Here's some from mine!

I need more of this in my life.

Well I guess ol' boy wasn't amused. He parked the equipment on his patch of grass today. Feel so used.

Just rude otherwise fellas. 🙄

Got the tractor out to move some wood scraps to the burn pile from the old rabbit hutches- damn happy to see them go, too! It was so nice out though that the mower engaged and knocked out several acres. I'm determined not to spend the entire weekend working and it was way too pretty out to not keep going and enjoy it!

Happy Wednesday!

Funniest thing- went to get air pressure checked in Jeep tires as they were low and it was doing more road dancing than I care for. So technically guy fills um up, and starts to walk around the front when he stopped dead in his tracks and just fell out laughing. I asked if everything was ok and he said "ma'am, I have seen a lot come in the shop, but Ive never seen 2 eggs resting on a w***h come in before- this is a first!"

🤣🤣🤣

More cutting and edging, moved a ton of debris to a burn pile, pulled up ground cloth and got several 4x4 posts from an old pen pulled up. Have to go earn money for diesel at work tomorrow but back at it Saturday morning. Push mower wont be repaired for a couple weeks so about to become even better friends with the w**d eaters. When I said I was working on toning up, I didn't think it would be from getting my ass kicked by a Kubota! It's looking so good though- I am proud!

Today I cut another 5 acres, moved some logs, filled some holes. Getting pretty good at field repairs, using the bucket to get unstuck and finding projects to do so I don't have to put her up! So far, its still fun and not work- hoping it stays that way. Tomorrow is more of the same but will try out my fork attachment, too 😍
