I'd think it would be too early for morels to be popping up there on the tundra. They're just getting going good down here. I checked my creek on Saturday and found two scouts where I always find them. That means it's time for me to leave the early spots alone and start checking the spots where they come later.

Pops came over yesterday morning and ran the post hole digger for me. I don't ask him to any heavy lifting these days but it makes him happy to get out and help how he can, especially if it gives him a chance to use one of the tractors. Once the holes were punched he went to the couch and I got busy. Cleaned out the holes, bedded the posts in ag lime, set the temporary braces, and called it a day. This hoop house is going to be a bit bigger than the old one - 10'x25' with 9' to the peak of roof. I'd like to have it finished by the weekend but I have a feeling that mushroom hunting may slow the progress just a bit.

That’s a lot of work! Glad Pops could help out. When we set poles and fix fencing, I’m always on the Cleanup Crew or KP if we have brothers over to help. I never get to have any FUN with the machinery...and that’s probably for the best, LOL!

I take that back - last Fall Beau let me mix cement with the take-off on the skid steer to do the mixing/turning. That WAS fun, actually! Just like making a cake. ;)
