This pollen fell in and washed in from the farm workshop roof.

Update 2025-01-18: Removed: pine deadfall in back driveway 2025-01-14.

I’ll get to it either today or tomorrow, so when something else falls on the front driveway we’ll have a way out the back. Continue reading
Deadfalls after Hurricane Helene 2024-12-07
Every path through my woods looks like this. Hurricane Helene was ten times worse than Idalia for south Georgia and north Florida. Forestry is Georgia’s top industry, and it is hurting bad, along with pecan trees and other agriculture.

Dropped oak tree on tractor shed roof 2024-11-27
Oops. That oak tree insisted on going south when I cut it down. It made a big dent in the tractor shed roof.
![[Roof damage]](http://www.okraparadisefarms.com/pictures/2024-11-27--oak-roof-damage/20241127_112048.jpg)
It broke off the end of one roof truss. But the main truss and the plate it is sitting on are undamaged. So it’s fixable, and not so bad meanwhile. Continue reading

After I chainsawed a cherry tree off the corncrib and dropped some cherry logs on the boat rack, I screwed it back together almost straight.

Deadfalls everywhere 2024-10-21
Walk anywhere, take chainsaws.
We hadn’t finished cleaning up from Hurricane Idalia, more than a year ago. Hurricane Helene was ten times worse.
At least the dogs get some amusement out of climbing logs.
