This weekend has been hazy hot and humid. The kind you’d much rather spend at the lake. However we got quite a bit done. I actually got the sawmill running Friday night. A new blade finally got it working. We got four logs done, then I had to change the blade again, and it’s

I was backed up on milk, because I wasn’t here last week, so had an extra heavy dairy making sessions today. I made yogurt, strawberry maple ice cream, lemon cheese, and mozzarella, all from raw milk, of course. The pigs love me today, as do the dogs. Frank was able to take a few breaks

Lyle Handy showed up at 7:30 this morning to get started stumping the new veggie patch. Heavy equipment is a good thing. Frank had him move the big stumps to the area that should be behind where the garden shed is going to go. He told him to scrape off what top soil there was

It is so pretty outside today, and quite warm. I wandered around out there around lunch time, taking pictures. I think we might be finally over winter, with our last freeze last night. Time to start hauling up the window boxes for the deck edge, I think. The apple blossoms are just starting and don’t look like they got too damaged from the hard freezes or the snow. Here’s that rock that Frank fought with so mightily. It’s a huge thing, and most of it had been buried. Our mechanic came over with his back hoe and got it out, without ruining all the plants I’d already put in the bed, for which I am very grateful.

There was much more time today spent in Frank vs. The Rock than we had planned. It all started out innocently enough. I was transplanting some of my 420 (what was I thinking?) perennials out into the garden. (NH weather is funky, just for the record. Less than 24 hours after it was snowing madly
