When you have 5 acres of ground to try and "work" sometimes it is a challenge. One of our neighbors said, it took them 50 years to get things how they really wanted them on their property. I don't know if we have 50 years in us to get things done!
We have been try to clear the land several times this year, but some of these tumble sticker weeds have gotten out of control. So the boys and Jeff took half a Saturday to try and tackle just a small portion of the weeds by burning them.
In our community everyone burns their weeds and fields. When we first moved here and saw a huge fire we were wondering what was going on. We soon learned that everyone is a pyromaniac when it comes to burning their fields. 
So we do our own type of pyro burning on a much smaller scale, as we don't want to melt our vinyl cattle fence. No we don't have any cattle yet. Maybe in years to come. The fence came with the purchase of our property. It looks nice, but it doesn't keep much out. The deer love to come down and eat what ever we have planted.

I don't envy the work, but I'm sure you'll love it when it's complete. Happy Thanksgiving!
Wow! Look at you and all your posts. I'm impressed. :) Looks like lots of work! Your boys are going to make great dads. They've been trained well.
Carving out the homestead is hard work!!!! Those tumble weeds are really a menace aren't they?
It is a good thing for Jeff that he has 4 working hands to help him on the "ranch". Those odds are better than my Dad who had 6 girls on his dairy farm, only 1 boy!!!
Tanner looks fine with his glasses. Can't remember when he started wearing them.
I bet the boys enjoy being able to set fires and not get in trouble for it. :)
