Gettin' it done

The Cub Cadet is sadly out of action right now but Nick's friend Tom was kind enough to loan him his skidder to clean up the side yard. Here are some shots of Nick in heaven:

Indian Summer

Today marks the second day of seventy degrees with clear blue skies on the mountain. Oh...this is what summer was SUPPOSED to be like! To celebrate I went out and harvested more blackberries this afternoon. These are going to be a welcome remembrance of summer come this winter!

Granted I had on jeans and a black tee but I even started to sweat! Just a faint glimpse of those Oklahoma summers growing up swimming in ponds and licking blackberries. I can't wait for Gunnar to have wonderful Oregon summer memories!

Homegrown Labor Day

For the long weekend we made a wonderful homegrown meal with a chicken we had raised and a cobbler from the blackberries we picked. Gunnar was wanting to get in on the action too but I think his eyes may be a bit bigger than his stomach:

Its a Bird, Its a Plane..

The other day Nick texted me that Gunnar was giggling in his sleep. I think he was remembering how much fun it is to fly!

And there is more

Here you can see two other projects currently in the works at London Acres. Nick is working on a wood shed plus putting down bark dust on half the backyard:

Takin' Care of Business

While Papa took down the trees Stinkus and I manned the computer working from home:

Timber

Today we finally had the dead trees in the side pasture taken down. The tree climber who did it was at least 60 and definitely gave Nick a run for his stamina's money!


This guy can't figure out what happened to his home. It was right over here...
