Around the Farm...


 Well hello there!  Thanks for stopping by to look at some of the fall activity around the farm.

Fir deck posts which are being treated slowly but surely.

West veranda.

East "morning coffee" deck and door.

View of house from the west on a nice sunny day.

Exterior plaster complete!

Our "tree whisperer" who has put countless hours into watering the shelterbelt. 
As of today, we have not had rain in 11 weeks.  Thanks dad!

Garage slab is ready to be poured.

It has been perfect harvesting weather.
Harvest has begun and, oh my, has the weather ever been nice!
 
Such a beautiful September day!

The Big Picture

Everywhere we look at the "farm" there is something to be done...pulling weeds, tidying, pulling weeds, picking up debris, pulling weeds, gathering recycling, pulling weeds, cleaning the shop, pulling weeds.  Oh yeah, and there's house building to be done.  Do you get a sense of what has been going on the last few weeks?!  As of today we are winning the weed war.  But a couple days of sunshine and working can quickly change that.  This lovely picture shows the big picture and reminds us why we are doing this.
