Last week was pretty busy: I worked a lot to cover for my buddy who's in the guard. I only had one day off, so I didn't really get a chance to do much of anything productive except buy groceries (which we badly needed). I had planted some cherry trees as the beginning of "the orchard". Here's a few pix of the orchard area, there's an old well building towards the back that you can see that needs repairs/replacing, and a few logs from when we were doing some clearing that we'll have to move that are right in front of that, but that big flat area that's mostly dirt right now is going to be "The Orchard". I'm thinking of about 10-14 fruit trees in there. The cherry trees still have the paper labels at the base there, to the left. Here are a couple pix:
It was a little overcast the day I took those pictures, which was a few days ago. I've also made one small upgrade to the "open air bathroom": I've learned that the trade off for the bathroom with the open roof view is that you need to waterproof your toilet paper. $2.47 at walmart, bam.
Today, it was the warmest it's been in a long time. It felt like spring today, with a little touch of summer. Since the weather was so nice, I decided to kayaking this morning before I went to sleep. I'll sleep later when the weather's not so nice...
Anyway, here are a lot of pix from the 'yak. This is at that boat launch right next to the house, and this is the first time I've dropped there. It's a very nice river, good paddling. Here's pix:
Next post will most likely be at the end of my 4 days off coming up soon, I've got a LOT of stuff to do. I expect that will be the case for the next year or so at least. Thanks for reading!
