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”

This morning I had a missed call from the post office, they had received my bees and I went down to pick them up. I’m happy to get them sooner than later even if I had to adjust on the fly, holding the baby in one arm while picking up a package of bees. SurprisinglyContinue reading “5 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”

Today I’m flying to Philadelphia for my brother’s wedding and tomorrow I’ll flight back home. This is the beginning of my whirlwind week, in the military they always like to call a hard week, heck week. During that time a person can expect little sleep with a lot of running around. I haven’t even flownContinue reading “1 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”
