A light trim around the back

It has been a busy weekend. We obtained fencing tools, including a nice set of fencing pliers which were put to heavy use immediately, yanking out some of the last remaining bits of barbed wire stapled firmly to wooden posts. We're much happier with this hazard gone.

More trees are being gradually limbed now, letting light through to our neighbours to the north, as well as making it easier to build fences there too.

We had wanted to build fences already, but as all too often is the case, doing one thing led to first doing a dozen other things. Mercifully, the local burn ban has been lifted, so that we can get rid of a lot of combustible rubbish that way rather than having it sit around as a fire hazard.

The primary fly and mosquito season has passed, and this is quite welcome. We are getting around to giving our animals their autumn deworming. This should put them in much better condition for the next six months.

Between deworming, fence construction and so on, we should be kept very busy until the end of the year.
