got a yard full of brush and trees layin in the yard oldest boy said he's gonna bring his tractor over cut the butt up in big pices take it over where we split wood for my dad boy found a big swarm of honey bees in a cherry tree in the growed up part we leave for the deer to travel through
We had a bee tree on our property a few yrs ago. Chuck was hoping they'd stick around, but they must have left or died because we quit seeing them using it.
We have at least a day of cleanup to do at my mom's. She has a few dead trees she wants cut down and the grass needs mowed. She got sick and just mowed the front yard. So my brother is suppose to take his mower in and we're taking ours down, but its raining almost everyday so maybe we'll end up taking the baler down, too. My brother said the rafters broke in the barn and it needs to come down, too. 😞 Hope we can get the Amish to do that.

Keep your head down RR .
I think I told you guy about my wife's brother that Alzheimers ,, well he finally made it to the end Sat night late . Man that is one bad disease , that makes 3 of her siblings in like 5 years and she lost her mother to it in 2007 . My wife ask me what and how this could be, I told her my thoughts were boiled down to genetics and environmental issues in some way .
So ain't we got some dandy weather, rained so much here that ducks won't look out from under our deck .

sorry about your brother inlaw chuck man we got a toad srangler this evening didn't get hit as hard as some places electric was off for 4 hrs tree fell on a big line behind my dads building made a big bang and caught on fire sure stir the horses up glad it didn't break in the feild where they are id had to put them in the barn
Chuck lost 2 uncles from complications from Alzheimers and I lost one. My uncle only wanted to eat candy bars and drink Coke, it had to be room temperature and out of a can. He walked out of the house one night in a rain storm, they found him hrs later; he died from pneumonia. Dad always thought because he worked for a gas company that, that had something to do with it. But another one of their brothers is in a nursing home because of it, my cousins told us he thinks he owns the nursing home.
We were out of electric for about 6 hrs, still burning the oil lamp and a candle. The only damage I saw here was an apple tree blew over. It was ancient, the apples weren't the best; but it usually had lots of them and they fell late...good deer bait. It fell over our spring cover so we hope it didn't damage it.
We only lost the old apple tree, it was here when we bought the place. There are alot of trees down in the area, read on FB some people still don't have electric. It was windy and cold today with some rain. Tomorrow is suppose to be dry with high in the 50°s.
It sprinkled off and on until about 10 am and was cold and windy. By noon, it was getting nice so my friend and I went hiking on the North Country Trail...got another 5 miles logged.
