Lawn Care Country Style

These past few days "the man of the place" has been taking care of the end of the year lawn care, having the lawn mowed;
the bovine way

This is our new young Angus bull, isn't he handsome.

Now I would not reccomend this way for just anyone, you need to have a couple of well natured bovines, fenced in yard and patience, they are not fast.
And they just don't mow the yard but also fertilized at the same time.


Now I can not say that they do as well as the lawn mower, but it is environmentally friendly. I would imagine that the carbon footprint on this would be very low.

The only thing now to be done is the "the man of the place" needs to figure out how is going to spread the fertilizer around.

Till next time

    Doniene, the bull is handsome and he is just 22 months old. He is going to be a dude.
    Deb, yes they are very friendly but I have learned that no matter how friendly they are still a lot bigger then me and I give them space.
    Karen, rain would be nice but the chicken found the piles and went through looking for bugs, so that did the job.

    When I first read this I nearly fell outta my chair laughing. I wish my Hubby would get a few manual lawnmowers like yours, they're so quiet compared to the LOUD thing he does use. They're also so cute.

I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...
