This afternoon I worked a bit on my fence rebuild. The temperature barely warms above freezing each day. The snow melt is so slow. But I got a little work done today.
I had some concrete pieces along the fence between the driveway towards the north pasture fence. With some work I was able to remove those pieces. The ground is hard, but not frozen - yet. With a crowbar I was able to pry the pieces out of the ground. Some dirt was stuck / frozen to the bottom of a number of the pieces. I had to scrape the frozen dirt off the best I could.
Instead of starting my pickup to move the concrete pieces I used my wheelbarrow. If you remember from my hawthorn tree cutting this Spring the wheelbarrow's tire went flat due to the thorns. Over the Summer I repaired the tire over and over and over again. Finally I got all the leaks fixed. The tire is now holding air. This is a test of my flat repairs as this is the first time I hauled something heavy since the repairs. So far, so good.
I made five trips to haul the concrete pieces to a spot by the hayshed to store them. Then it was getting close to sunset so I quit working for the day. Slow but steady and I may get the fence rebuild done. This year hopefully.
This is how wide my garden was when I had a garden. I grew a lot back then.
