A Day of Work

Today was a productive day. Not a lot of hard work, but progress was made. The morning started with garden work: hoeing out the weeds; putting up a fence to support the heavy tomato plants; picking cucumbers, lettuce, onions, peppers; and graveling potatoes.
We then put up an arbor for our young grape vines. We put in posts and attached a bull panel to them for the grapes to vine their way up. We hope to have lots of grapes to pick for juice and jam in the years to come. Fingers crossed...
The day ended with cutting some firewood from a downed oak tree on one of our property lines. By the end of that task, there were contests won and lost over who could split the wood the fastest. It's amazing how fast work can get done when the title of the strongest splitter is at stake. That meant more than the monetary value awarded...not much can be bought with $5, unless you are a teenager who needs to buy gas, and all the money put away helps...
