That’s how far it is for 8 trips on my ¼ mile road from the Pole Barn to the Cabin plus the main “yard” around the pole barn and around the cabin… mowed 3 times because the grass was taller than my small tractor which couldn’t handle it in just one cutting.
With the big tractor (with the broken belt) it would have been only 2.5 miles but I had to use a smaller tractor (42”).
Tomorrow, I have to mow the yard in town. The average city yard requires about a ½ mile walk with a 20” mower.
I LOVE MY FARM. It’s 2-½ miles to walk around the outside property line.

Note the dog kennels next to the barn.

See the two tractors plowing? There are deer in the back field and a lake just beyond the trees.

I stood at this window for hours with a cup of coffee, just gazing out at the land and all the wildlife.
FIVE of the 9 horses at the salt lick. The two at the left are ponies.
My Sunday cars, a 23 Ford pickup and a 21 Ford touring.

Just a small glimpse of life on the farm. I have sold the farm house and back part of the farm, but still have the rest.
