Land Spreading Out So Far and Wide

This has been one heck of a weekend!  Our property has a forest of flame leaf sumacs covering a good 75% of property and we decided to clear as much of it as possible this weekend.  In 100+ degree weather.  So when we went to see about renting a tractor, they were out at the time but had a Bobcat with a mower attached to the front.  Okay, guess it'll do.

The bucket they decided to "throw in" for free did me no good, we used it strictly for mowing as there wasn't much time for anything else.

The whole thing loaded back on the trailer for early morning return tomorrow morning.  A BIG thanks to my Father-in-law for hauling the Bobcat out to the property and back for us!  Thanks Russell!!

Had some family and friends stop by and lend a hand with clearing, Thanks Todd, Andrew, Tony, Shannon, Kristi, and Judith!  Here I am at the controls.  It was a blast!

Couldn't seem to get Jenn in the thing, she had other plans.

Here's the drive down to the gate, before...
