After all the snowmelt yesterday, we had ourselves a few skating rinks around the yard! The ice wasn't quite thick enough to hold my weight as I did my rounds. Boy am I glad I found those rubber boots. Even if I had to cut the tops. Wider would have been nice, too, but at … Continue reading Drainage

Garden layout plans
Having received shipping confirmations for the seeds we ordered, the girls and I have been talking about just where we are going to plant what we're getting, and what we need for what we're getting.

There would be all sorts of vegetable and fruit peels there right now. If there were deer at the compost, I figured there might be some at … Continue reading Some furry visitors, and getting a call

Clean up: old hot water tank
Today, it was back to the old basement to finally do something about the old hot water tank that died on us, shortly after we moved here. A job that didn't go as well as I'd hoped in some ways, while better than I hoped in others! 😀 Here is the state of the tank, … Continue reading Clean up: old hot water tank

Photo of the Day: eyeballing it
Not only does this deer have a strangely lumpy face, even the fur around its eyes make it more noticeable. Like a fuzzy frame!
