It has been two weeks again and time is flying! I mean to do this every week and hopefully I will again soon. I am lacking pictures for this post, but stay tuned and I will have more!The clothesline is done! Rob finished that last week with minimal assistance from me. I love it because it is a little higher than the last one and it has a center support post. I can hang more laundry on it without the…
One of our big projects this year became putting a fence around the garden. I was having a serious problem with rabbits and possibly deer. Never mind the dog that also liked running at full force through the garden. Since I live in a wide-open rural area surrounded by farmland, the critters don’t have a problem finding my garden nor eating what I planted.

To sum up these last three weeks: we got a lot done! I got to play in the dirt and garden! Yes!I transplanted about 50 raspberry plants to a new area.

I wish more were doing the same, but of right now I…
