Helping check fruit trees

When I was checking the blossoms on my fruit trees, Daisy helped me.

"Nope, no blossoms on this apple tree."


After checking the fruit trees Daisy decided to check out the rhubarb to see how they are doing.

Helping fix a strap

When I haul cattle in my stock trailer I put a strap on the lower half of the back of the trailer.  That is because the back door only has a latch on the upper half.  I am leery that somehow the cattle will push hard on the door and it will come off or open on the bottom.  So I attach a strap or two on the lower half of the trailer when I haul cattle.

The last time I hauled cattle the large yellow strap was jamming up and hard to use.  So I used two other smaller straps for the trip.  Later I had to unwind the yellow strap all the way from the catch / tightener.  It took some time to unwind it so Daisy decided to help me.  Eventually we got the strap all unwound and rethreaded and fixed.
