Wednesday we did more fun fall farm projects! Tom picked up some free concrete chunks from old Edison, and we drove these into the field and placed them near one of our main gates to try to stabilize the soil there and prevent a large mud bog (like last winter’s). Tom picked up the firewood that was leftover from out tree felling/chipping day and brought them to our wood pile to be split and stacked (later!). I worked on animal stuff. After we were done we went boot shopping! I don’t know if you can tell from the photo but last year’s two sets of boots (one of each pair on the right in the photo) have deep gouges through the neoprene leg, and each has a nail hole through the sole. So we went to Oliver Hammer fall sale, and each decided on the same boots (Tom’s are a little bigger than mine). They are all rubber (no gougable neoprene this year) and have thick soles. Hopefully they will last at least one year!
Thursday I worked while Tom worked on his car.
