On my regular walks with the dog I spotted something in the distance, a shiny black and I know from painting that black is not a color normally seen in nature. There was a sizable snake sitting on a vining branch. I took a photo and on the right side can be seen the greenContinue reading “23 April 2024”

Another good weekend, mostly time was spent with the family. My wife went for a walk in the forest with me, she hadn’t been back there in sometime and before started clearing it out. The photo she took of me and my trees, it’s always nice to share my work with people. When I’m inContinue reading “22 April 2024”

All the mowing yesterday went well and so did the podcast recording. We’ll have to change something in the future because currently we start recording at a time that is later than my bedtime. I know I go to sleep early, but sleep when the baby does. The other guys I record with both workContinue reading “19 April 2024”

My bees are doing well, at least they seem healthy and active. The photo I posted shows that they’re growing sideways, the black frames are for them to build their honeycombs on, but they want to BE independent. This was the third times I’ve interacted with the bees and it’s still an unsettling endeavor, IContinue reading “17 April 2024”

Yesterday was fairly restful, the pool guy never showed up, apparently they had someone quit last week creating scheduling problems. That doesn’t bother me, in the past it would have, any time I’d have an appointment I used to stress out over it the entire day of and a good deal before hand. Having aContinue reading “16 April 2024”

This week was intense, or as my wife put it, “What week isn’t exhausting?” She’s right, often when I walk the land I can begin to be overwhelmed with the amount of work there is to do. There isn’t as much that needs to be done as I imagine, I could let the woods beContinue reading “12 April 2024”

At the end of the day yesterday my giant green thuja trees were delivered, I had already picked the baby up from daycare and would have to put her to work in the fields. The trees are small for now, but this time next year they could possibly be taller than my peach trees theyContinue reading “11 April 2024”

In such a rush to get started work this morning I forgot to write before stepping out. By the eyes of the outside world not much has happened, despite hours of mowing I’ve yet to cover the whole yard and I’m not trying to yet. My primary concern is cutting back the over growth onContinue reading “10 April 2024”

Releasing the queen bee went well and hopefully she decides to stay. The bees didn’t eat as much as I thought they would, which was good, I was afraid they’d go through all the food I gave them and be starving in a day because I don’t know how much bees eat. I had leftContinue reading “9 April 2024”

Another good weekend, our first normal weekend at the new house as my wife has been away doing new job training until now. The bees are off and running, on Saturday I dumped three pounds of bees into the hive and they’ve been looking good. Once I’m done here I’m going to release the queenContinue reading “8 April 2024”
