Busy Weekend (Thankfully!)

Yesterday, Tay and I were up at the crack of dawn and were able to get 56 tomato plants in the garden before the skies opened up.

Today, after the rain subsided, we relocated our fire pit to a nice cozy location in a small ring of trees.

Here is the old fire pit filled in and seeded with grass.

The next picture is our new fire pit area! Notice the chicken on the right side. Apparently the chickens also liked the upgrade and dug out a dust bath hole in front of one of the tree trunks.

One can only assume that they are enjoying the ambiance of the location as well.

The Peteys put in their customary half hour of work while complaining that we were killing them.

They were a huge help as they picked up a whole Big Red load full of sticks and wood and cleared tons of rocks from the newly cleared yard.

After all was said and done Tay and I spent a few hours enjoying the new
fire pit.

We've still got a lot more to plant and will get to it this week. We've got pole beans, all colors of bell peppers, cukes, zucchini, squash, more tomatoes and a few other veggies including asparagus.

It's shaping up to be a busy but fruitful week!

Even Tay's peach and apple trees are doing great above the garden and have been left alone by the deer.

We've also had a few wild turkeys visiting on a daily basis.

Life is good in the 10 acre wood!
