A Good Weekend’s Work
This weekend, Dad, P, and I put in a total of 37 person hours of work. We are tired, but we are happy.
The completed garden beds. If you look closely at the closest bed, you can see the cabbage seedlings.
Here’s our list of accomplishments:
- Finished 150 feet of raised beds using all recycled materials – old fence posts and retired telephone poles.
- Cleared branches and twigs from the main trail head.
- Burned branches and twigs. Twice.
- Limed and fertilized the pasture and yard.
- Planted four fruit trees.
- Seeded wildflowers on the south-facing hill by the farmhouse.
- Re-attached the mower deck to Vulcan.
- Solidified plans for the flower garden, fire pit, and barbecue area above barn.
- Trim dead magnolias in the hopes that they return from root.
- Planted swiss chard, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, and two kids of lettuce.
- Tired Meander out completely two days in a row.
Sometimes, the best kind of relaxation is hard work.
Now, P and I are going to buy some grass-finished steaks, make baked potatoes, and relax for the evening. May you feel as much good fruit in your weekend as we do in ours.
