Yard Work

Hello! Another proper summers day – needed sunscreen and everything!
We did a lot of cleaning up today. Jeff mowed and whippersnipped.

I’ll see if someone wants to collect some of these rounds of timber. We just need to get rid of the stuff we can’t use.
No burning for a good long while (I’d say we are under fire bans now and for good reason)
(As an aside I just read that an area in Victoria half the size of Belgium, is being evacuated because of extreme fire risk!!)

I didn’t get a proper ‘before’ photo with all the bits of wood and branches etc… but its much better now. Cleared and mowed.

We also hauled all the timber away from the front where the most recent tree fell.

While Jeff was mowing, I was running about moving stuff. Its a bit of a process moving the raspberry netting to work under AND keep chooks out.

For whatever reason, we’ve had too many piles of branches that have been stripped, ready to cut into fireplace lengths… so I moved and consolidated areas.

Raked up bits so Jeff could mow and tidy up more easily.
(But yes, still a long way to go.)

I’d planned for a while to get new firewood storage areas happening. Will need some more steel droppers to do the sides, but this is a vast improvement. Will be able to start stacking as soon as the next lot of trees come down.

Even the veggie patch got a good trim!

Well – its late and I need to go wash some dirt off!
Hope you’ve had a lovely weekend!
Cheers!

(Yay – harvested an onion to put into the zucchini slice tonight!)
