Irrigations Pipes. South pasture harrowed.

Myron brought over 15 irrigation pipes this morning.  These are the pipes I wanted so I can have a fourth line. I run two lines. A third line is so I don't have to turn off the irrigation pump when moving one line.   Once in a while a fourth line would be helpful when the third line can't be used, or it overused.

I placed the newer pipes on my stack of other pipes.

The rest of the afternoon I harrowed the south pasture and got it finished.  It took me yesterday and today to harrow this pasture.  Having trees to go around slows one down.  And there were some fallen tree branches from the snow last week to clean up.

A little Spring snow and down goes a large and long tree branch.  Here is an example of one.

The branch was one of three that came off the second tree from the right side.  One can see how this tree looks a little sparse in the mid-section.

Here is a nearby tree where the branches fell off a few years ago when we had a heavy wet snow in November.   No branches off this tree this year.

For whatever reason this tree is slowly dying from the top down.

Here are fallen branches from a tree in the middle pasture.  This tree had lost lots of branches a few years ago during that November snowfall.   I trimmed the side branches from the fallen branches.  Tomorrow I will clean up the remaining debris, then start harrowing this pasture.

These are not small branches that broke off from the snow.  It is surprising such large branches break off from a small amount of snow.

Big and long branches.

Here are all the branches from this tree I will keep for firewood next Winter.
