Just Some Wind

Been a busy week on the farm. The windstorms that happened here over the weekend brought a huge part of a tree down across our 'house' garden, right over the potato bed! I still have a 6 by 4 foot area left of potatoes to harvest, and the tree was right on top of that so it had to be cleaned off as soon as possible.

Luckily, the fallen tree did not break the fence, at least, not drastically. A picket or two are broken and the top rail of the fence has split, however, the fence has not fallen down, and it's still useful and keeping Nikko pup from gaining access to the open fields. Phewww.

The broken tree lying across a wheelbarrow (one can barely see it) which is holding part of the potato harvest!

It's been a busy week! More than normal! Imagine someone you haven't seen in over 40 years (a friend/roommate from my early college days), or heard from in most of that time, suddenly contacting you, saying they are going to be in your area of the country for a very short time and wanting to meet up for lunch - yesterday. Yep, that's been my week. It's been great!
