Life on #129acres

Four years of hay harvests with our girl.
Wanna come play in our treehouse? It's not done yet, but we're having a lot of fun building a treehouse playground. There's a slide, tire ladder and much more to come (including a railing). Swipe to see the very sophisticated artist’s rendering. More details are on the blog (link in my bio).
PSA. Gypsy moths are hatching this month. This invasive species can cause severe damage to trees. Now is the time to remove gypsy moth eggs from your trees. The light coloured egg masses are easy to spot (swipe to see). Scrape them off carefully and drop the eggs into a bucket of hot water mixed with bleach. If the eggs have already hatched, sticky tape around the bottom of the tree can catch caterpillars as they go up and down.
"I am not the busyness of my thoughts." This quote from @richardwagamese connected with me as soon as I read it.
This mess represents so much progress and big steps towards our dream of what this house can be. Garage construction is underway. So much progress (and so much mud) has been made already. A full update (including more photos of the cutest supervisor/worker) is on the blog at the link in my profile.
On a whim, I decided to tap our trees a few weeks ago. It turned out to be exactly the right time. Just a few days later, the sap started to run.
