"Farmers" At Work

We have been waiting for the cooler weather since May.  Now it is here, though the temperature will hit the middle 80s today.  With things "cooling off," our pep returns and we hit the ground running.


 




Here we are clearing out mesquite, cleaning brush, and removing abandoned barbed wire.  We are farmers!!! 
Notice the new equipment...
I know it looks like we know what we're doing, but we are just fumbling through in hopes of learning how to be farmers as we go along.  All informed suggestions are welcome.  And the equipment, well it's all battery operated because we couldn't navigate how to use the gas versions with their chokes, etc.  All we need to know now is how to remove, charge, and replace the batteries, then turn "it" on.  How simple is that???
Removing old barbwire is more problematic.  We have tried a couple different wire cutters but we don't have the strength in our hands to cut it.  So will head back to the hardware store to find something else.
