Cutting Firewood

It's turning much cooler again. Worked clearing more cedar behind the house on Thursday and worked in the office on a cold Friday. The fox hunt has been postponed until next Saturday (we'll see) so some friends came out to cut firewood. Since I was out showing them good places I ended up spending the day working on the mountain pasture. Trimmed broken limbs, pushed old cedar tops into burn piles, and pulled large stumps & whole trees with the tractor. Had three nice fires going and made some progress, but still a lot of work to do. Hopefully we'll have more rain and the grass will take off this year. Sunday I had a TSF&HG meeting in Granbury so no ranch work other than the every day feeding of the animals.

I did see a new young buck deer last night. He was with one who comes by a lot. He stood back and watched the other graze close to the house, but wouldn't come close. Also the birds are really going after the feeders this week. I've filled them three times this past week.
