We made some progress yesterday.
While out buying chick starter and a heat lamp, we noticed the store had good prices on fruit trees so we bought two, an apple (with Red Delicious, Granny Smith, and Fuji) and a peach (Florida Prince). I've never planted trees but tried to be as gentle as possible with the roots and amended the soil as we filled back in the hole. I'm a little worried about the fact that neither of these trees had much of a root system. We'll keep 'em watered and see how it goes.
Hubby started mending the pasture fence while I did the laundry and other house chores. Our neighbor approached him and actually offered him a free gate! He got the hot-wire spacers set up and we should be able to bring my horse out next week.
One thing I noticed yesterday is that I'll have to rethink where to put the bee hives. I thought I had the perfect spot, on the east side of the house where no one really wanders - until I noticed some sort of meter there, possibly gas. I doubt the meter man would enjoy climbing over a hive when trying to read the meter - might be entertaining to watch though.
We removed one of the oleanders - we now have two small ones to go. I would have pruned the pomegranate and walnut trees but I can't find any of my pruning shears - not looking forward to buying new ones; they're so expensive.
I can barely keep my eyes open, so that's all for now.
