I tossed my weed-wacker in the Rhino and road to the next town and had it tuned up. I came home and restarted the process of taking down bushes and brush in the back of the property. This is an ongoing effort that will continue for years before I have taken control of the brush back there and made the property a little safer from forest fires. This would ordinarily not make my blog except for the fact that it’s February 17 and I’m doing yard work. There’s little if any patches of snow to be found. A very mild winter. I guess one can say winters here are extreme (one way or the other).
