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”

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”

The peach trees are in the ground and wouldn’t you know it as soon as I was done I got an email about a flash sale on giant green thuja trees, they will start my privacy wall of trees. Thujas are a fast growing evergreen that has a mature height of 60 feet, walnut treesContinue reading “4 April 2024”

Today is digging day, after I’m finished writing I have to dig 14 holes for my peach trees. After digging I’ll need to go to the store to get nutritious soil. First I need to gather up my tools, in the future I will get a utility vehicle for transporting tools. For now my wheelbarrowContinue reading “3 April 2024”

Another week down, there’s no daycare on Fridays leaving me with the baby, it’s nice to spend time with her though I notice with using daycare my baby care muscles are getting weaker. Digging holes and cutting down trees is different than handling a baby, she also grows up so quick that after four daysContinue reading “29 March 2024”

Today is a big day, I’m going to a tree nursery to see if I can get some peach trees. The location is also a vineyard so I’m sure there will be lots to interest me. There’s not much time so I’ll have to stay on point. Yesterday I was able to mow my poolContinue reading “28 March 2024”

Not much happened yesterday, I spent most of the day sleeping. By the end of the end around 8 PM I was feeling better and took the dog for a walk while I examined the side boarders to think about what I’d like to do with the overgrowth. Eventually our walking led us to aContinue reading “27 March 2024”

After a long wait and ignoring a lot of pain, my tooth has been worked on and is hopefully fixed. Today and tomorrow I plan to rest, right now I feel like a puffer fish. It’s been so long since I’ve really been to the dentist that just showing up there felt exhausting, like goingContinue reading “25 March 2024”

The mower is alive, happy Spring everyone. This morning I did about three hours of mowing and might have done a third of the property, it will be hard to tell how much there is to mow until I’ve already done it a couple of times. When we were looking at houses I kept questioningContinue reading “21 March 2024”

I need to channel strength of a nation that will conquer for 1,000 ages, Leto’s peace. The worm. I’m thinking now of the fourth book in the Dune series. The whole reason I wanted to consume the material was that the ideas were so outlandish that it would expand my consciousness, and there’s no wayContinue reading “15 December 2023”
