Sometimes, rather than doing anything on my long to-do list, I’ll make up a new project and spend an entire day messing around. Tennessee presented me with a gorgeous fall afternoon, and I spent it outside with my brain turned off, harvesting my walnuts…and coming up with all kinds of crude ‘nuts’ jokes. Perfect!

I Finally Got A Trailer – DEANO Farms: Week 163
Finally, a proper trailer for all my hauling needs. I’m gonna be a trucker just like my daddy! Now that we don’t need to live in the metal building, I need a trailer to pick up all the old vehicles we’ll put in the metal building. Of course, Emily doesn’t know about that last part. …

Cutting Down The Old Dead Tree (DeanoFarms: Week 129)
I called in reinforcements for the big, old, dead tree in our pasture. #deanofarms
Getting Organized – DeanFarms (Week 125)
After 50+ years on this earth I finally graduated up to a proper tool box! LOL I’d allowed the barn to get pretty sloppy over the past couple of years. I decided it was time to get organized. My OCD is now calmed down!
Splitting Firewood (DeanoFarms – Week 124)
Previously, I’d learned how much ‘exercise’ you get by breaking down large oak rounds by hand. Lesson learned. I went with a new plan. I brought in the heavy equipment to split the large oak rounds. Still hard work but much quicker…and fun with machinery! [manly grunts] #deanofarms
Late Summer Mowing – DeanoFarms Week 122
I let the pasture grow all spring and summer this year and mowed everything down in late summer (mid-September). My plan was to get some seeds (from the plants that had gone to seed) to germinate in the rain that came in right as I finished mowing. I could get used to mowing only twice …
Volunteer Tomatoes (DeanoFarms – Week 105-115)
FREE BLTS! I did not want a tomato plant this year. But, the monster tomato plant I grew last year had other plans. So, I got a new plant from its seeds–volunteer tomatoes! I did almost nothing to help it but I still got a few BLTs out of it. It was a nice little …

Winter Mowing (DeanoFarms: Week 91)
I needed to do my winter mow while the wildlife was tucked away for the winter. I’d left a few brush pile messes around the place earlier in the summer that I needed to clean up. So, I cleaned up my messes and finished mowing everything on a nice winter weekend. Winter mowing is certainly …
Winter Farm Chores (DeanoFarms: Week 89)
Tennessee was getting ready to have some icy winter weather roll in. I got out to the farm to get hunkered down in preparation for freezing temperatures. While I was there I did some tree cleanup. I did all this while wearing my grandfather’s old insulated coveralls. [wipes tear from eye] Then once the weather …
Planting Trees (DeanoFarms: Week 80)
I planted a sapling (oak) and a seed (walnut). We’ll see if they make it. If they do they can join alongside their big brothers/sisters for the next 100 years.
