Critter Tracks

The other day, Pam was crop dusting.  Not with an airplane, and not with insecticide, but with ashes from our wood stove.  Pam read somewhere that ashes are great for berry plants, and so dumped a bucket of them on her blueberry bushes.

This is Sassy the Cat.  Since she had kittens and after we got her spayed afterwards, she turned from all fangs and claws into a normal, lovable house cat.  She's almost at the pain-in-the-neck stage.

Our time here on the mountain is winding down, and it is time to start getting things ready for winter.  I used the post hole digger to drill the garden.  Drill the garden?  Yep.  The post hole digger also brings rocks up to the surface (when it is not breaking shear pins).  We're expanding the garden next year and I'm getting it ready to rototill.  Its easier to replace shear pins than tines.

The post hole digger is heavy and I wanted to keep it vertical.  I set it on a pallet, and used another pallet with hay baling twine from end to end to keep it vertical.  All I need to do next is to unpin it from the tractor's three point hitch.  Which I did.

Well, it didn't work exactly as planned, but it worked.

While sitting on the deck with  Earl and Bill, quaffing a few victory beers after cutting down some trees (yes, I did), I noticed animal tracks on the new deck.  

They look like cat tracks, but smaller.  Much smaller.  Judi's cats are all pretty big, so it might be a stray.  Maybe its the Bleecker Sasquatch's pet.  And no, the game camera pointed at the well for the past week hasn't picked up anything but dogs and cars.
