Mash up...

Here is a few shots from my hike last Thursday.
Friday was crazy busy as was the weekend. 

Blood Root




 Hepatica


The doggies


One of the Ice Caves


Beautiful mosses


Meanwhile at home.
Here are a few shots of the progress of the good 'stuff' around the shed, old busted garage, and shed.









Before forest mulching. This area of the woods was full of berry briars, multi flora rose, and nasty little invasive brush.
There were narrow deer trails going through the area.


After the Mulching was done a view from the meadow.


A view from inside the forest area.

Patrick operating the 
skid steer and mulcher.


Patrick mulched the areas I asked to be done and will be back to do more work. This summer he will mow the summer pasture and the areas he mulched. 

Maintenance of these areas will prove extremely useful when and if I am going to sell the farm [farmette].

My youngest son and his fiancé came over the weekend. it softened the pain of what would have been Rich's birthday.

Jer set up some cameras for me on the house and buildings. I never ever thought I'd need surveillance of my place. But here we are in a new era of distrust.

  2. So much going on there that I am surprised that moss can grow. Certainly not under your feet anyway.

  3. Looks like you are making progress on all fronts. It must feel really good to get rid of all that junk.

    1. Yes, it is large and was built to be a riding area/machine shed.

  5. There is a lot of change in a short time. It has to make you feel really good.

    1. It actually was kind of hard. I can feel Rich wincing every time something metal goes out the door.
