Clean up! Clean up! Everybody, Everywhere!!!!

You know something isn't right when you've got a hot chocolate mug in the middle of something rather mechanical looking....


Today we spent the afternoon cleaning out 'winter' from the apple shed.  We are expecting a fieldtrip of teens this next week that are taking a horticulture class at the community college during the summer and they want to see what happens at our place.  I promised them that there wasn't a lot to see since there wasn't anything but a bunch of little apples hanging around in the trees.  They were still OK with that.  Which was fine with me, since it got a nice little fire burning under our feathers to get us moving early on our list of chores before apple season!

The challenge of the day was to move the snowmobile from the apple shed, to the trailer.  After it was loaded on the trailer we needed to move it to the machine shed on the north side of the farm.  Easy peasy lemon squeazy, right?  Wrong!  We live on a farm, and therefore, equipment must always be in need of some sort of repair!  Hence, the cup under the lid of the snowmobile...
and the battery charger on the blazer...


And everyone dragging the beastly bear cat out of his corner because he has no intention of coming out of hibernation...

Aha!  Signs of life!


Up!  Up!  Up!


Turns out, it wasn't a very simple matter to park the trailer in the machine shed.  Since someone stacked a whole green house inside, and parked a couple of tractors inside as well, the machine had to be unloaded and parked back in the farthest corner it could get to!


But hey!  We did manage to make some progress in the apple shed after all of that!
