Plowed and disc'ed garden. Was putting away disc and caught a limb of the old Sycamore tree with the bucket of the tractor. It was dead from a lightening strike. One half of the trunk was barely hanging on and was about to fall. So I knocked it over with the tractor. The other half was still standing, so I decided to take care of it too. When I started to push it over, a coon ran of the top.
I stopped for a second then started to push again. Then I spotted the babies - still up in the trunk. So I backed away and parked the tractor by the barn. Becky came and talked to me about seeing the Momma coon. I heard a noise and there in the bucket of the tractor was one of the babies! unhurt. I picked it up by the back of the neck and took it by the tree so that the Momma could find it.
Chelsea is desperately trying to find a job for the summer. Several good leads, but no results. She helped with the fencing to make extra money and has been doing articles for the paper as well. Has a new boyfriend named Dan that helped mow the lawn. Our lawn tractor has problems so it had to be push mowed.
