Rain Creek Farm Saturday started a little before 7am, 72F and foggy. (07.06.02) |

Rain Creek Farm This is the new path between the pen (left) and back of the blacksmith shop (right). A lot of scrap tin, steel tanks, pieces of pipe and imbedded metal fencing had to be moved out of the way for mowing and work on the fence. To drag away heavy items and to pull the metal out of the ground required the use of the garden tractor. Surprise! Flat tire. Not a good start. Once we were back in business Linda drove the tractor (back-and-forth) while I positioned the chain to pull each item out of the ground. (07.06.02) |

Rain Creek Farm Yeah, post number 10 is in the ground, only one left to go! (07.06.02) |

Rain Creek Farm Megan again, after giving Rusty a bath. (07.06.02) |

Rain Creek Farm Hurray! Post number 11, and the last of this project is in the ground. The clay soil is impossible to get back around the post so a wheelbarrow of sand was useful. Of course the wheelbarrow had a flat tire as well. And you wonder why we all keep portable air tanks on the farm. (07.06.02) |

Rain Creek Farm And that's the last of the braces. Two more tension wires and then it's lunchtime. (07.06.02) |
