A Goat, an Electric Chainsaw, and a DR Trimmer

Time flies when you're working the homestead! I can't believe I haven't posted in such a long time. I've been busy, busy, busy.

Our driveway is overgrown with brush and small trees. So bad that we can't drive down without limbs hitting the vehicles. So, this summer I've taken on the task of trimming back our 1/4 mile long driveway. This is no easy task. And I can only work on the driveway when everything else is caught up. I'm now more than half way done. Among all the brush are tree limbs that fell during the ice storm. Photos are before trimming back, and after.

So Shadow is helping drag the small trees that I cut down with my handy dandy electric battery powered chainsaw. Then I use the DR Trimmer with a beaver blade to cut down the small brush and then pile it up for burning later.


The sheep are doing well despite the high temps this summer. Grass is plentiful this year.
