Taking lots of nails out of the posts. 

We woke up early to watch for the fox.  Caught a little raccoon in the live trap.  Had our Sat goodies and watched tv.  It was a nice cool morning.  Adam and Jacob walked up and down the road.  The boys worked with their sheep and I pretended to be judge.  Jared took the raccoon to Darren's house. It was a mean one.  He got some pine needles from Darren to put around our blueberry bushes.  He stopped at Doug's house to see if we could use his post hole digger.  Jared helped Doug fix some trim on his camper.  He and his wife had been frustrated working on it for a couple hours.  Jared got it done in 5 min and Doug was happy.  They drove to Doug's son's house to get the post hole digger.  The boys helped me take down a fence which was held up by lots of nails.  We are rearranging our fence behind our barn.  When Jared got back we went for a swim.  Then we had ice cream cones before going back out to work on fence.  Jared and I pulled posts with the tractor and the boys worked on taking down another section of fencing.  Jacob and I were working on a fence and we stepped on some ground hornets.  Jacob and I both got stung.  I got it twice on my leg and Jacob got stung on his shin.  Ouch! Jacob and Jared used the tractor to dig post holes.  We took down another section of fencing.  When we went inside it was late.  We put pizza and breadsticks in the oven and watched tv.  We were all exhausted!
