Signs of Spring
Sprouts and plantings While I know it is too early to get spring fever, the daffodils in the area are starting to bloom, way too early, due to our unseasonably warm weather. With that I am happy to report the daylilies that I transplanted from my yard in the fall are starting poke through the…

On September 1, 2023 after many years of searching we purchased a hunting property which came with a bonus “dry cabin”. We only later learned that “dry” meant no plumbing. The electricity was taken down last year which is really unfortunate.
So far we have had an excavator level out the driveway, installed foil insulation under the structure, planted some trees and grasses and we are working on installing an outhouse.
Follow along with us….
