One week and counting!

One week until our trip to the property in Louisiana. Hubby is thinking he may take Friday off. Doesn't really surprise me. We often leave after he gets off work on Friday. Last year we drove straight through. Not something I want to do again. It's not good for him (he's diabetic), and we were both too tired to do much when we got there.

I'll get the bills paid Friday morning, and we'll get the trees loaded into the box he built - and tied down, of course. Then we'll finish packing/loading and probably leave. It's always hard because there is so much that has to wait until the last minute to be packed.

Hubby got hold of the man who installed our new well pump last year (you can see the picture in my web album here.) He had been sick in the hospital and hadn't had time to check it since I called him last month; but he said to call him when we get to the farm and he'd come right out and look at it. All we know is when Louisiana had their freeze a month ago, something broke. Tyler, the neighbor who has looked after the property all these years, got the pump shut off (the breakers are on a pole outside the 'pump house'), and was supposed to talk with us about it; but, well, you know about that.
So we are going to visit the Mrs. to see if there is anything we can do for her while we are there.

Hopefully the weed killer we put down will have made a difference in the level of poison ivy, if nothing else. And we're going to be pulling up a lot of wild growth. It's been growing on the fence line, as you can tell from the pictures, for many years; but we want to put fruit trees along the fence line, among other things, so down they will come.
Sorry for the long sentence, haha.

Have a great weekend! We'll be doing more fishing. ;) And Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there! :)
