21st Century Power

Yesterday, as I was coming home, I passed a lot in our addition on which no one had ever built a house. However, I knew that the owner had sold the lot and had seen some activity on it last fall. Now, there was lots of activity. Trees were being felled and hauled off. How it was being done was very interesting and I thought that I would go and take some pictures. But, being a t.g.a.er, I didn't get around to it. However, as I was going into Mooresville this morning, they were at it again. I stopped and asked if I could come back and take some pictures and the man that I talked to said yes.

So, here are some pictures of how things are done in the 21st century.

Draft Horses

Waiting to be hitched up

Pulling a log

It didn't look as though they were making much effort

Some things have to be done more 20th century

Beautiful animals.

Peas lettuce spinach and pak choi

Today, a sunny and  mild Wednesday, I ventured into the garden to rake back some of the leaves in places where I plant peas and lettuce/spinach/ pak choi so that the ground can dry out a bit. It was good being outside.

Pussy Willow Song

Its that time of year again. This year I brought in some of the gang to sing a round of our favorite spring time song. (Even though its not spring yet.) (Sang March 14th)

 The Chorus (Minus One)

 Pussy Willow in Bloom

It's a fun song.  (Try it.)

I know a little pussy

Whose fur is soft and gray

She lives down in the meadow

Not very far away

She'll always be a pussy

SHE'LL NEVER BE A CAT

Cause she's a pussy willow

Now what do you think of that!

Let the spring begin!
