Feb 26th - Sunday

Church day today. Kelsey & Andy decided not to go to church today and Lydia decided she wanted to go with us. On Sunday mornings, before Sunday School, Kathy normally goes to California to visit a young man from our church. He has been in jail for several months, awaiting trial. (The young mans relatives say that his spending time in the county jail is a good thing. Once he goes to trial he will probably be convicted and sentenced to time in prison. The pre-trial time he spends at the county jail should count against his sentence.) I picked Lydia up and met Kathy at the church.

Kelsey, Andy, Lydia & Nolan were over for supper a few night ago. Lydia sure likes Ranch dressing. Note her chin.

Friday I cut up the rest of the log from the dead tree I felled last week.

I've cleaned up that tree. I have a lot of splitting to do, especially since I'm doing it by hand. I also have another dead tree to cut down on that neighbors property (the property is along the north side our driveway just before our driveway gets to the road). I also have at least one dead one to cut down on the neighbors property that borders the south side of our driveway and at least two decent size dead trees on our property.

Yesterday I spent almost 4 hours cleaning up some trash trees around our small pond. I pulled out the ones my tractor could handle and cut down several larger ones, nothing larger than a 4" trunk. I drug all the trash down below the dam and pushed in it a small ravine. In the late afternoon, when I went out to put wood in the boiler, I split a couple of the pieces in the above photos.

Lydia stayed overnight Friday night and all day Saturday. She likes staying here because she can be "Queen Bee" 😉.

The Daytona 500 is on TV. I'm listening to it but I am so disgusted with NASCAR and their continual tweaking of things that I'm about to quit watching entirely. It seems to me that NASCAR won't be happy until they have beaten any thought of innovation out of the NASCAR teams. NASCAR says it wants to cut costs for teams. After all the wrecks because of the wrecks caused by restrictor plate racing I wonder how serious they are about saving teams money, & safety.

No doubt there are a lot of things I could do that would be better than watching NASCAR, taking a nap sounds like one of them.

God is good. May He bless you and yours.
