Hunting Preparations Begin.

I'm back at the homestead with plenty to do. I have to start getting the farm ready for hunting season. Trail trimming, planting of winter grasses, and get my rifle ready. Alicia will be trying out her new rifle, she wants to put pork on the table.

Back in Boston I had a terific time. I got to see one of O's cousins and his family that I had not seen in a long time. They are a wonderful family. Also got to work on a brick path in the yard, trimmed some doors, and got to do some recon on some electrical work. I had a good time.

Alicia gave me a knew book to read about the civil war written from the accounts of the people there at Gettysburg. The book is titled "Killer Angels" by Michael Shaara. So far the book is very interesting. The book describes the strategies involved at the batttle from both sides.

Take Care, Jorge

Back at the Homestead

Back from my trip from Memphis to Mineapolis to help my brother. Of the whole drive I would have to say that I found my drive thru Iowa very beautiful. Iowa looks just like I would picture America. Rolling hills of corn and farm houses with silos. It was a very beautiful site, I was impressed.

Back at the farm we're back to the usual plus getting ready for the hunting season.
We have definitly received a lot of rain this year so far. The most noticable difference is that the rain was constant. At the farm we usually have a very dry summer were we don't get any rain for about 8 weeks and the temperature is in the 100's and so everything dries up. This year was cooler, the 100's only lasted for about a week and the rains were constant. Must be global cooling, LTS.

I'm also getting ready for my trip to Boston to see O and the family. You'll take care, Till next time, Jorge
