With June coming to a close and the mowing (relatively) under control we set our sights on expanding the amount which could be mowed. The “barn” field had a 200 foot welded wire fence at one end which separated the lower barn field from the upper section which was approximately 700 x 200 feet wide. The first thing was for Pokey to pull out the 20+ T posts so we could wrap and salvage the welded wire. Here is Bun doing a pre-inspection of the posts<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once the fencing had been removed Pokey could back up along the steep grade and start mowing<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When complete a few hours later, the expanded field was quite pretty. With subsequent mowing the pasture grass will choke out the weeds and the whole field will turn green.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With 51 acres mowing is always on the mind, but the end of June\/beginning of July is also blackberry season! We have large tracts of blackberries growing on the property. This was the first harvest – approximately 4 hours of picking yielded a large cooler full of blackberries!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once the blackberries were safely back at the house they were promptly turned into 42 jars of blackberry jam!!<\/p>\n
