I set out this morning to see how the Gulley Bridge was doing after all this rain, and I was amazed to see that it is now like the Amazon rainforest back there, the paths to and from the bridge are almost completely overgrown, the grass comes almost up to my knees, and are not passable at the moment.

This is our gateway to our woods, and we want to keep it open. It hasn’t been that long since we were back there, but between the Open House and everything else, it was enough to give the vegetation a chance to thicken. Maybe time to rent a couple of goats.

This weekend, we plan to go get a couple of scythes and hack our way back to our forest and the meditation bench in our woods. It will require some chopping. We are game, as long as the pollen doesn’t drive us back. It’s even too thick for the dogs.
