Dang @Latestarter you beat me to it again!!!!! Just saw that @mystang89 foolishly posted about selling children in a public forum I wasn't around to see it yesterday. If it were me I'd keep that on the hush hush!

Haha, gotta find some way to buy all that food we ate!

Today we started preparing for winter. Cut 3 trees down before the rain rolled in. Oldest boy was helping thankfully. Sheep were also helping. Honey locus and 2 cedars.

I know the cedars have sap that leaves a load of creasote but if you keep you chimney clean then you don't have to much to worry about.

I'll get more tomorrow. Still trying to recoup from Saturday.

Is your locust tree full of thorns? I'm thinking about filling my lawn mower tires with that slime stuff as I'm tired of plugging it. I think I'll buy spare rims in case I have to replace tires at some point.

huh? did you steal it before eating it? Maybe eat all that food you bought?

That Locust doesn't appear to have thorns... Honey locusts have some serious thorns going on! Maybe a black locust? Either way, my goats love the leaves off both and I see your sheep seem to as well! Free food, can't turn that down.

I've got multiple plugs in all of my mower tires

Definitely a honey locus lol. My thumb still feels like it got stabbed by a nail. I inadvertently grabbed without thinking and without gloves.

I have about 8 or 9 on my property that I've found.

Wish the thorns on mine were that huge... they'd be easier to avoid. Here's what mine look like:

Those thorns are certainly not worth playing with....they are dangerous and I try to eliminate them as quickly as I can....tho, they say the trunks make good fence post....

Went outside to do the chores and found this. The picture doesn't do it justice.
