It’s Not the Little Things
It’s the big ones. This Summer, anyway. The little things are getting done, bit by bit. I’ve been hauling more rocks (a little at a time, in the more hospitable temperatures of nearly-night) to get the rock walls done. The … Continue reading

Well, I finally got to it! Carole and other folks had mentioned it would be nice to see the whole place, specific things, and what’s where. I got pretty close – this isn’t the whole place – our property goes … Continue reading
