The Great Blank Canvas

That's what I call our property. We're beginning to fill in the landscape.

It's starting to look something like a home, with new flower beds around the trees and little hydrangeas in front of our window.

This year is the year of livestock preparation. We're going to fence for cattle, goats, and sheep. Also on the "to do list" are a feeder pond at the top of the property, providing for pump circulated streams through the pastures, fixing the road, building a bridge, and readying the side of the road for fruit trees next year.

Of immediate concern are the chicken run, a larger dog run, and veggie/herb gardening.

If we accomplish all of the above this year, we will turn our focus toward building the coolest playground/party place on earth.

The great blank canvas... may it be lushly fleshed out!!
