Hey, here’s a quick update on the things going on here at the Hermits’ Rest. For one thing, a lot of mowing has been going on and a lot of shredding. The appeal of using the shredder on really high grass is that it can be done in the air-conditioned tractor. It’s good to report that all along the sides of the road and the area on the other side of the arroyo is now shredded.
Two benefits to that are 1) you can see if cars are coming from the left as you leave the driveway, and 2) the ragweed has been cut down, eliminating some distress for the resident humans.
Everything is very neat and smooth now that the wildflowers set seed and were mowed.
The front-end loader, who’d been grounded for a while due to a giant hole in her ancient battery, is back and huffing and puffing again, with shiny new batteries. That will make moving fencing supplies a lot easier. It was sort of rough with the little tractor.
And, look! We have the beginnings of the horizontal rods in the pen fencing. That is really exciting! The end is near!
It’s cool to see how the tool to hold them evenly spaced works. How clever!
I’ll be out killing more grass and supervising fencing later today after work. These long summer days are GREAT.
A much more exciting post should be out later today, I hope. Happy summer to all.

Love seeing a little bit of your life down there at Hermit’s Rest.
