The first hazelnuts are falling, and Anya has been hunting them in the grass.

EV UTV!
When we picked up the field goal posts, we also checked out a Polaris Ranger EV that was being auctioned by a park / habitat preservation entity. We actually won the auction! Scott and Anya went out today to pick it up. The batteries are shot (of course! We’d measured the voltages already and bid with the assumption that new batteries would be needed), but everything looks solid otherwise. Fingers crossed we can get 48v of the batteries working to boot it up and confirm everything is functional.
Gooooooal … posts
Another government auction deal – $36 for 700 or 800 pounds of aluminum tubes that we’ll make into gates. The field goal system is designed to rotate to allow the field to be used for non-football purposes … which should be perfect for swinging a gate across the driveways and farm road.
Splat Hornets
We’ve taken the UTV through a few places in the woods that could have used a flailing first … however clipping a hornet nest was still a surprise! Luckily no hornets followed

Growing Space
We are putting together a 10’x30′ enclosed growing space – several inches of wood chips that were laid down last year are turning into fertile soil. We’ve got a chain link fence enclosure around it to keep the critters out. Almost ready for planting!

We have five apples forming on the Fuji apple tree!
Old School Tulips
The old-school tulips that I planted along the driveway are spreading nicely
