I am beat. Been on my feet and walking around and through the woods all day.
The burn went well. We had hoped for better coverage but the fire did about what was expected. And no one got hurt and the fire stayed where it was supposed to. Now I can see more of what needs to be done for our management program. A lot of saplings and brush needs to be removed. Start as soon as it is dry enough to b(r)ush hog and start knocking stuff down. I won't have a shortage of firewood either.
Hopefully I can now get a rotation schedule going to burn a portion every 2 to 4 years. The wildlife will love it.

The daffodils are in full bloom. Spring is here.
Revising the list again. Removed some completed tasks. Updated some work that is done and in progress.
Forget about prioritizing. Too many things happen simultaneously and are weather and mood dependent.
New house built.
More firewood cut. Pretty much have next winter's cut. Will be cutting more as we work on other projects.
Fix garage light.
Seal floor by toilet.
Dam cleaned off. Got a bit of that done when we did the burn
5 years of neglect cleaned up--firebreak, driveway, autumn olive, back 20, dam
Fire break prepared for prescribed burn--includes some firewood. Must have it done since we did the burn. Still some more cleanup to do though
Trail to back 20
Clear "backyard", get some firewood out of it too. Working on this one
Fruit trees pruned.
Cut fence posts and continue with timber stand improvement in cedar area.
Fencing around the orchard.
Fencing around the garden--mostly done, have to close gap at bottom of fence.
Eradicate non native and invasive species--autumn olive, phragmites, Nepalese browntop, honeysuckle (yeah right)
Burn piles. One left to do until next year. Mostly done until we make new ones.
Timber stand improvement--more firewood and NNIS eradication.
AC installed.
Family history.
Write articles for SS.
Go through stuff and get rid of accumulated stuff that isn't needed. Yard sale?
Garden taken better care of.
Rabbits.
More chickens for the freezer.
Clean up and fence around cemetery. Started cleaning up.
Make front porch
Make shed for firewood. Put tarp on frame and put it over the firewood until the shed gets built.
Deer stand repaired.
Finish trim work around doors, windows, and baseboards. Buy wood for trim work
Gravel for driveway
