The work continues

While we have been enjoying our four days off from work, the work has continued. On a daily basis some work campers have been busy painting our fence, and others have been trimming hedges. It is a work in progress though, and all have promised me that there is work left for me when I return on Monday. I like to paint but am not fond of trimming hedges. In my mind I have encouraged those working to keep on with the hedges. But, if it is not hedges, it is other plants that will need trimming. The park here is quite beautiful because of the trees, lawns, and other flowering bushes like Crepe Myrtle. However, we have many Crepe Myrtle bushes that need trimming. We also have to trim the trees so that the motor homes and fifth wheels or trailers can park without limbs being in the way. This is another activity for this fall and winter. To do this we frequently hire a lift of some sort, and one of us operates the lift and cuts off offending limbs with a chain saw while others gather and cart all to be burned or trashed.

I don't think we will be trimming trees this next week, and, hopefully, it will be painting that will head the list of the most necessary job. We have already used 15 gallons of white paint and are probably slightly more than half done. We have a great deal of fencing here, and it all needs to be painted. We also will need to continue mowing our nearly 100 acres and do the necessary trimming as well. Happy travels.
