Today threw off the dark clouds and the rain of yesterday and was bright and sunny. For me it was a bit of a gardening day, combined with trimming the ferns in the yard with the whippersnapper and then cutting down some trees to free up more light. I wonder if I will keep trimming the trees around the yard until I am living in a broad field. I cut some wood for the winter as well, working on filling up my woodshed again. I raised one of the Maryam cookie sheets in the greenhouse so working with the plants are easier to access.
I also drained my big barrel into the pond and then set it up on a higher platform which I built out of a stump. I am not overly optimistic that it will stay up when it is full, since it will weigh over four hundred pounds, but we’ll see how it goes.
