A Warm and Sunny Day Provides Much Motivation

Wow, this past Sunday was spectacularly warm and sunny so we did a bunch of fun yard stuff such as putting up a bat box...


...planting wildflowers where we had a burn pile...



...putting up another bird feeder...





Mowing our garden footprint down and...



...wind-rowing...



...raking...


...and composting the grass....


Here's a view from atop our roof showing the mowed garden footprint and the raised bed frames (far corner) we'd made recently too:


We also did yet more clean-up around our little green shed. Soon this will be ship-shape and ready to store the mower, extra wood and misc. items:


We also got a start on laying out a set of stone pathways behind our house. For us, sun and warmth equal motivation!

  3. Jeesh. How long are the days back there???!!!
    I like all the feeders, etc. Tell us how the bat house works out. Is the entrance hole at the top? I have only seen them with entries at the bottom. Did you build it?

  4. The bat box is a standard bottom entry - a gift from my sister! :)
