Yesterday it was 73 degrees and sunny. I thought it would be good to start the tractor and let it run for a couple of minutes. Once I got it started I thought I should run it to the garage and top off the fluids, give it a lube and inflate the tires. Once that was finished I though I should hook up the mower and be sure it was in working order. After that was attached I decided to drive it to the back of my property where my tree farm is going to go. When I got there I noticed that the weeds had grown quite a bit. I decided to mow it as long as I was there anyway. I mowed the 2 acres where my Cedar, Spruce and Cypress trees are going and noticed that the adjacent field looked dry enough to mow. When that was finished I thought I would hook up the plow and see if that area was a good candidate for hay. I plowed about 1/2 acre and the soil looked good. No clay! I went to the barn and hitched up the disc and further broke the ground up. By this time it was getting dark so I parked the tractor and called it a day. I hope someday I will develop the will power to stop this "mission creep" I have when it comes to gardening.
