Today I did some mowing . The picture above is the side of the house looking north . With all the rain the grass was starting to get out of control . The trees were planted last year . In the future they will provide shade to the west side of the house. The west Sun beats down  and heats the room on that side . It even has melted the window blinds . 

This field is on the east side and if I can keep the upkeep up it will make a nice grazing pasture

This is half the field on the south side . I finally got the high grass knocked down, it will make up the main pasture

Toward the back of the main pasture are these burrows . Eight in total . My neighbors are supposed to bring their horses over to graze for the next couple of weeks . The winter has been harsh and the grass on their land needs some recovery time . 

I have to take care of these burrows prior to them coming over . If a horse happened to get his leg into one of them burrows it could be critical . Not to mention evicting the animals that inhabit them . They are either coyote or armadillo homes . They both are nocturnal so it will be a long night .  
In my last post I mention how it was important to keep the grasses low due to unknown critters making a residents there .

On this one you can see some fresh dirt from the time I mowed around it until the time when I took the pictures .

This year we will keep everything up along with some minor maintenance . Next year will be better . We all have financial and personnel issues in one form or another . Good plaining and a budget helps if you stick with it  . Keep moving forward in your course no matter what it is and the results will be worth it .
