Autumn Yard Work - Day 1

I have been working on getting some of the tall grasses cleared now that it is not hot and buggy out.

Day 1 (Sunday Oct 18)I worked about an hour outside with my husband home to help watch the kids and had him running around with the tree trimmers cutting down any trees that were smaller than his forearm. I was cutting grass, by hand, with a kukri. (a kukri is kind of like a large knife or a short machete) I was able to clear about 20 square feet of grasses in that hour. I found some nice large boulder and a few stumps that are either rotted almost to compost or have been set on fire and are mostly charcoal.

Here is a picture I took shortly after we moved in. It was pretty much the same height of grass all the way over to the red shed.

And this is after I got done this night.

The line on the left is the phone pole and I cleared from what is pictured to just past the large tree on the right.
