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”

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”

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”

Today is moving day, or at least packing up the truck day. Movers are coming to pack up a truck tonight and tomorrow it’ll be delivered to the new house. I can’t guarantee consistency in my work for the next couple weeks, least of all because the house won’t have internet, but I’ll be busy.Continue reading “19 February 2024”

What a weekend, I got the podcast online at spotify and youtube, the links will be at the bottom. Yesterday and today have been rough, it seems like the baby has some sort of stomach bug and she struggling to eat. Last night she threw up in her bed and now the whole rooms smells,Continue reading “12 Febraury 2024”

The end of the week, house repairs are nearly finished, and we received the missing document to close on the new house. The current chapter of my life is coming to an end. Today there was warmth in the air, that air gives me strength and I’m going to need it. The new place willContinue reading “2 February 2024”
