Life on the Land
"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm" Ralph Waldo Emerson

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
Making a go with the forage harvester
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
Sunset at Undercliff waterfalls 5 minutes from our house
The new tractor
Starting to see the finished layout
Hot water piping in the floor
It was a good year for blackberries
Kelly with his new fence posts
Tanya on the
Machine
The next few photos are shot by Martina
Our new Biolytix sewage treatment system
Wow, anybody for indoor soccer
The gabions along the driveway doing their duty
Spraying the compost tea
We gravity feed it to the ute to take to the land
Brewing at the house we rented
Our own resident compost tea brewer - Jessie
Well, so much for the drought
Yeah, we did have some rain last night
Our small creek on steroids
