I pressure washed a few of the benches to see how well the pressure washer would clean them. Pretty well!

Farmhouse Roof, Day 7
We have a roof! Still need downspouts, but the house should be dry finally!
Farmhouse Roof, Day 6
We’ve got shingles! They’re not on the house yet … but they exist 🙂
But the porch roof is covered again!
Farmhouse Roof, Day 4
It’s starting to be more house-shaped …
Farmhouse Roof, Day 2
They’re making progress on repairing the roof …
Farmhouse Recovery – Roof Edition
We removed some massively overgrown yew and arborvitae — before, you could barely see the house through the plants
And now, we’ve got a house again
They’re starting to pull the tarps off the roof and repair the roofing
It’s Alive!
We got the battery finalized on the Ranger, and it’s driving beautifully! Turns out they had two of the buttons reversed on the dash (?!?!)
Benches
My mom’s dad had a stroke later in life, so he had trouble getting around his property. Having someplace to sit was vital to being able to continue enjoying his property … I always wanted to do something similar for our property. We found an auction for dozens of benches at a nearby university — getting them home is an undertaking, and they need some cleanup. But we absolutely will have some place to sit anywhere on the farm now!
Hazelnut Catkins
We’ve got catkins forming for next year already!
Hazelnuts are falling …
The first hazelnuts are falling, and Anya has been hunting them in the grass.
