Toil ... I think my desk height is too high...

We are planting grass here at the HM Ranch. We're trying to establish a yard. We might be fencing the yard in, as a matter of fact, with an electric fence. We'll do this so cattle can roam the acreage but not beat up the home that the office resides in. I rented a tiller from Home Depot on Sunday. At times the blades grabbed onto some dry solid ground, I'm guessing, and it took off at full trot. I had to hustle to keep up with it. Almost like a wheelbarrow race at full spead, except with a 350 pounder lineman or something. It must've been funny to watch me as it happened. I had to use all my strength, basically, to keep it going straight and stay in control. Fun, but hard work. Now it's planting time.

We've also cleaned up the place a bit, rearranged some furniture, etc. Here's some photographic evidence that we didn't just laze around last weekend.
