Billy Tills

Path to the fire pit area


Chuck had cleared a big area not too far from the house and it's on the way to the garden.  That is were we decided to build our fire pit.  Also, since we haven't had any luck with planting our pumpkin patch down at the garden, we thought we would use part of this cleared area for the pumpkins.  It had been thick with honeysuckle and you couldn't even see how big the area was.  Chuck had gotten is cut with the bush hog but it needed to be tilled.  There was no way we could have done it with the hand tiller.  Soooooo, Chuck asked Billy if he could use his tractor tiller.  One afternoon, I hear this load noise and it kept getting closer and closer.  Here comes Billy on his tractor with the tiller.  Not only did he let come with his tractor, but he tilled the whole area for us.  He went over the area like ten times.  It's going to be perfect for planting now.  Chuck has spread some wild flower seeds in part of the space.  Guess what!  they are coming up! Sure hope we get some rain so they keep growing.  ( the hose won't reach down there)  Now, it's time to get planting all the pumpkin seeds that I saved from all those pumpkins we had bought last October.
