WE DID IT! Oh my goodness, we have officially finished the last of our rock walls and it feels so good….well mentally it feels so good…physically we are sore and tired. So, as a quick recap, here is how the rock walls have gone over the last 6-7 years. 2016 We finally experimented with some…

Easter Weekend Project 2 – Rock Walls
We were busy little beavers over the Easter weekend. I took a couple extra days off because there were a few bigger projects I wanted to complete before the spring gardening season hits. We ended up doing quite a few more projects than anticipated! I already wrote about the yard cleanup we did, which was…
Easter Weekend Project 1 – Yard Clean Up
To kick off our Easter weekend, we decided to start getting the yard ready for our upcoming planting season. As mentioned previously, the snow snuck up on us in the fall, and then never went away, so we had a bunch of plants to pull. We started off with pulling all the plants from the…
Nature’s Calling
Not that kind of “Nature’s calling”….I know you thought this would be about that, but it is not. It’s about the fact that Nature is calling us to get our butts in gear! The birds are swarming the trees, chirping merrily. There are more sounds of kids playing and outdoor activity. The dog is regularly…

It has been a very busy beginning of the year with extra-curricular work, as well as regular work, and having a puppy. I actually backed away from some of the extra-curricular projects because I was…

Mapping Progress
Happy New Year! I had intended to get this post out before the end of 2022, however I just ran out of time. I would like to say it was because I was busy, but really, I just had a very lazy few days to end the year. It has been a very busy few…
End of Season Yard Updates 2022
As we are nearing the end of the year, it is time to look back at what we accomplished…and didn’t accomplish in the yard. Let’s start with what we accomplished. The biggest project that we accomplished this year was all the new walls on the unfinished side of the yard. This will open up so…
