Blueberry Orchard

Catching up with the myriad of projects we undertook this Summer, we planted a small blueberry orchard. It unfortunately didn’t take well and 40% of the twigs look dead. But the rest are good and we’ll keep replacing and growing it over the years. We got a whopping 10 blueberries out of it this year 🙂 We expect to be drowning in the blue gold within 2 to 3 years.

Shingling progress

not super fast but it’s been hard to muster the resolve to spend a day on ladders. This is the hardest and biggest wall so it will be nice to have it finished.

Fire & Ice

The struggle has begun and will continue on for the next 6 months.

Wood heat is the absolute best thing in the world, firing our Sweet Heart for the first time this year was cause for much celebration. We finally get to use the stove for canning. IMG_6867We pulled most of the tomatoes before the first frost of the year.

One scene, many social comments
