Frank still thinks I’m nuts, but I worked my tail off today putting in that new bed where the lilacs I planted aren’t going to make it. I think it is probably twenty feet long, and it entailed much digging up of sod and dirt, hauling of much crap, and generally hard, physical labor. I

Alright, the damn firewood is all in. Let winter come now, we’re ready! Of course, we don’t feel like we have enough, but you know, if we had more, we’d just be asking for a worse winter, because we always always run out of firewood. This year we have more than we’ve had since

One of the things on this side of the house that we want to save is an old cellar hole. There was a house and barn on this property long before we owned it, probably abandoned a hundred years ago or so. The house existed on the Marlow tax map in 1860. One of the

I’m starting this journal as I start my newly finished (sort of) landscaped garden, as completed by a “pro”. It’s amazingly cool, fairly oriental looking, almost barren, and completely frozen. That’s not surprising, as it’s after Thanksgiving already. The garden had grown completely wild after our house fire, and then two years of complete neglect
