Gotta love Paul Harvey. He was a wonderful person and so interesting to listen to. He just had a way of making things simple and to the point. He had a wonderful way with words and I think he must have really loved life.
Maybe I should be ending each post with.
“And now you know the rest of the story”
“Good Day?”

PS I love that poem. My daughter and son in law just gave it to me for my birthday on a big plaque. It’s hanging on my living room wall.

Yesterday was a little bit slower paced.
My son finished up planting his neighbors wheat and before he cleaned up the drill and stored it away I wanted to take a good look at our wheat to make sure I didn’t miss any spots or have any guff ups.
The wheat all looks really good as far as I can see. Don’t see any missing spots either. I told my son he could put his drill away.

Then I sharpen my chainsaw and trimmed a few of the trees I planted in the fence row. This one is kinda small and the wild grapes have almost killed it. It’s actually one that grew on its own from a pine cone. The original ones I planted here died.
It’s right in the corner and some day I hope to have a tree stand in it. Maybe I gave it a little chance. Would have done more but lots of poison ivy there and I’m very allergic to poison ivy. I washed really good right away. Seems like I avoided the nasty rash so far.
Still looking a bit sad but the vines are all cut and lower limbs trimmed. Maybe I will be able to hunt from it someday or someone else if not me.

While I was looking at the wheat I harvested a five gallon bucket of asparagus seeds and twigs. We have a road ditch that it grows very good in. Lots of people walk this ditch and harvest asparagus. That’s fine with me but my wife and I love asparagus and I’m hoping to start some in a different secret location.

The weather is supposed to turn colder and I decided while it was still nice I wanted to wash the sprayer up and get it ready to winterize .
While I was washing it our the Deere mechanic called and said he had the parts to do the warranty work. He came over and we made the repairs. Then I finished washing. Was almost dark by then and the weather was switching from warm and calm to cold and windy.
Glad I tackled that job and got the warranty work done before we parked it away

Sorry no pictures of the clean sprayer
