Winter

We use some of the silt and topsoil from the dam to create landscaping around the house site

The little red trailer that could

When the dam was built they just flooded a large section of land, so there are lots to dig out

Turf that has been submerged for 15 years or so

Our new stone wall curving around the house

The finished kitchen

Our solar system

Inverters, regulators, etc.

With a large battery bank comes the importance of ventilation

Since we are not connected to mains power, our battery bank can handle a few days of very little sunshine

It will be so nice to have green areas around the house instead of sand and clay

The last six months

This guy comes every afternoon now

They are moving in on us

Trying out the Yeoman plow

A day on the land

Martina kicking back after have been planting blueberries

Our new blueberry patch

My harvest of sunflower seeds, and since they are non hybrids I plan on using them for the next season

Well, I just happen to like photograph flowers. Do you have a problem with that?

Since we were moving in to the house in late fall (April), the wood heater was a must.

Kelly and Brent finishing off the kitchen

Soon to be my bedroom, it needs a few more days of work.

Kitchen getting ready to get a spray of undercoating

So I am back with the flowers, I guess I was really impressed how much they took over the garden

Signs of a Yeoman plow

The big swale fills very easily

Well, so much for the drought
