FIRST THREE DAY WEEKEND OF '06

The last time we went to the cabins, it rained the whole weekend. The grass was already tall, but could not mow. So, the weekend of May 13, we took Friday off and headed for Missouri on Thurs afternoon. When we arrived at II we found over 4 inches of rain in the guage, and the grass was tall. So we immediately fired up the mowers and knocked down II.
The next morning, we ate a good breakfast and headed to III. Since we had not mowed at all there this year, everything needed mowing. So I fired up the snapper and took off, while herself went - shopping!!!! I finally finished mowing all we had cleared about 2:00 PM and took off to see if I could clear the trails. The trail down by Sandy creek was overgrown with some kind of tall overgrowth. I had driven the 4-wheeler through where I thought the path used to be, then followed up with the rider. The stuff was so tall, I could see neither left or right, only straight ahead, but managed to plow through. Hopefully I will only have to go through this once a year.

After the mowing was done, we started to work on finishing the screen room. We put up the last section of screening, hooks and handles on the doors, etc.

Sunday was a day of relaxation at last. We spent the day clearing old brush piles, and burning them, blazed a new walking trail around the pond, then we mowed what we could of the dam, cleared brush where we couldn't mow on the dam, and just generally took it easy. Ha!!!
