I have been extrordinarliy negligent of keep this fledgling Blog updated, but with the Autumn Equinox just around the corner, specifically summer ends on Spetember 23rd at 0914 HRS. Check The Hearth page for my planned Fall Equinox Menu.
So in the past few weeks we have installed a new roof, all new windows, a new back door, took down a wall upstairs to make the second floor one big bedroom, a small guest room and bathroom. Laura mowed the meadow several times, she loves the tractor especially if I bring her beer.
We planted our small orchard, just three tree's but we have an eating apple Trent a pie and cider apple Northern Spy and a supposedly hardy Sweet Stella Cherry Tree.
I caught several Bass in our small Creek, a couple very nice Brook Trout and I bought a gold panning kit. I have found lots of fools gold, but nothing valuable..............yet!
I decided to call the beaver "Justin" (I know very original Justin Beaver), but I had to name him something that would make me less likely to feel emotionally attached just on the off chance I have to go all Soprano's on him. He might end up "sleeping with the fishes" if he makes his dam any bigger.
I also bought an air compressor, Mig welder and a few other things to make my life easier around the homestead.
Oh, and I am picking up an awesome tow behind post hole auger with 6", 9" and 12" augers and a 5.5 HP Honda motor. It will be nice to get some fencing up next spring.
