Birds

heard western screech owl last night and had a varied thrush in yard today!

The Weekend

Painted trim on greenhouse Friday evening 1st coat. Saturday and Sunday (today) got a huge chunk of area done for planting. stakes show where hopefully garden fence will be going. Had bed in front of S windows and a tiny piece of W when my neighbor showed up with his tiller-got all of E done or tilled and all of west tilled then removed weeds in west bed-doesn't look like a lot but I bet they saved me a weeks worth of work-not to mention my hands,back etc....

This side of Mississippi

Well, I have a door-it is the prettiest door this side of Mississippi. Hand carved handles, the coolest latch system, a darling shelve and dutch door. I am waiting to have Jeff hang it. Might just have to take photos of it now and then when it is up.
I got all my peas in, carrots, beets, potatoes and some lettuce in. I bought 24 casa blanca lilies from White Flower farm and got them in as well. I placed them in between lavender and around roses etc. It is going to be so fragrant!
Getting dirt delivered for phase 2 of garden-lots of work coming up.

Picking up door April 9th

Yipeee-door done and picking up in a week and half. Can't wait!

Drawing of door

Here is the drawing my dad did of my new door.....Our friend dirk is a woodworker and offered to build me a door! hoping by end of march.

Inside Greenhouse

Inside greenhouse today-all tools hung and working on more shelves. Got some cool old rusted railroad pins and making shelves out of those, drilling into cordwood. Will wait till spring unless weather holds to paint trim around windows. Looking forward to taking down fence... inclosing new south portion and creating a larger creative fun area to grow things.

Till Spring...or till door.....

Sealing wood

Yesterday I was able to seal the west gable and south wall.
I did all T and G and overhang of roof. I got a UV guard from Weatherall with a hint of honey color. It just added a nice warm color to wood and made it richer.
Still no door but it should be coming....hopefully soon.
Still no freeze yet...amazing!
