At the Farm

We didn't get a lot done this weekend after catching up with the neighbors and finding out about the CAFO. The last time we were at the farm was Valentine's Day weekend. After being gone that long, it's like starting all over again. Steve did get a header for the basement door done and the doorway that will lead from the kitchen out to the shop area. We still have to figure out if we should go ahead with anything else. We also walked the property to look at all the trees and bushes we planted last spring and talked about increasing the garden size.We also unbolted these eight wood things (?) from the floor. Not sure what they were used for, but it was something to do with the Amish wood shop that was here. Steve went downstairs in the basement & stuck his head in the cobwebs and I stayed up top and held the wrench. Glad I got the better deal on that one!

It snowed a little Saturday night but we just got a light dusting. By the time we left, it had all melted off & the roads were dry. We plan on going back up this next weekend & hopefully every weekend after that for a while. We would like to get involved with the movement to keep the CAFO out of our county. (It would be great if they were outlawed altogether.)

Oh, we did celebrate Earth Day by switching off the light and reading by the solar lantern.

It's so hard to imagine not having the farm. :-(
