Progress, progress, progress……… sore muscles, sore backs, dry hands……… but, a very good sense of getting something we have dreamed about getting done. It’s all happening at once. Been hard at our three main chores of getting the woodshed built, finishing the garden so we can plant it and enjoy fresh produce, and actually be able to walk inside the barn. Woodshed is all done, except for some roofing shingles and filling it with chopped wood - that has yet to be cut, dried and chopped! Garden is mostly done – all the boxes are built - all 20 of them, 90% of them filled, post holes dug with our friend’s Wayne and Terry’s son Jeff, posts in place, and fencing is up. Still need to make some doors, fill in between boxes (pardon me, “raised beds” ) with bark chips (called "hog fuel" out here! – gotta love that!), make a "center feature - thinking a solar powered water fountain /bird bath) and of course, plant some plants. Barn is way better. I cleaned out the shop in the house (again) and now ready for some of my Dad’s tools/toolchests that have been in the barn. Boxes still need to be sorted but no question we can actually walk a bit inside the barn. Again, the sunsets are incredible. Matt and Rachel stopped in for a couple days going/coming back from Canada where Matt had work conferences. Love having them around….lot a fun always.So, whew! Been a lot of work but the spring green- up is incredible, great sunsets, birds everywhere, etc. is really making our lives in Bow very pleasant. Enjoy the pics!
