A rainy day

We've had some rainy weather here for the past two days so Dave thought it would be an excellent time to burn some of the brush we've been stock piling up near the barn. So off we went to get this job accomplished. We are extending our garden this year. The area in which we cleared will be for pumpkins and squash as their vines really get enormous and have always taken over our existing garden. Dave will use the tractor and get the ground dug up and turned over. This is where our first pig pen use to be many years ago so I expect the new crop will grow excellent! I did take time today to snap a few pictures around the yard in the rain.
This is not nearly as big as yesterdays fire
Taking a break for some lunch
Our daily woodpecker visit
and our daily visit from the turkey
Apple tree beginning to blossom
.
This is our first year for garlic and
we are looking forward to this
