Open House is Over
The bear is
given away, and the food was great thanks to my friend Linda Davila, who thinks of all the little things I forget,
and to all the people who attended I give my thanks for your generosity in my
endeavors here at the farm. The straw bale garden seemed to be a success as
well as my potato and tomato towers and I will keep you informed as to how well
each of these turn out.
It was low key
and I had a good time talking politics as well as my ideas on agriculture with
the folks who attended. I am sorry I didn’t give any carving demonstrations although,
I was set up for that as well as a hay ride , but interest in doing either wasn’t
really there. And to be quite honest, again I had worn myself out getting
prepared for open house, so that I was just tuckered out. It happens, and I am
just now recovering from all that I did. Damn I must be getting old.
My friend Lorne Gintz
and his family received the bear in the giveaway which mom had drawn their name
from. Anyhow we all say around and talked and the farm was in great shape ,
being well manicured thanks to help from my brother in law Mike, and foir whom I
send out a big thank you.
I will be open
for the next 2 weeks and will have plenty of trees available as well as some
hanging baskets. From here on through the rest of the summer my focus will
shift to building my bandsaw to cut lumber from reclaimed wood here on the farm
as well as making hay. I also plan on starting the foundation of my new addition
to my house. I will have plenty to keep me busy here on the farm. I plan on
writing about my process as I go along, as I have heard from folks an interest
in what I am doing and hope that you will follow along as I go about my
building process.
It is getting
close to the time when you should postpone tree planting till later in the
summer as we are headed into the drier season where you would have to haul
water to keep your tree alive. If you still want trees though I will have them
available anytime by calling me at my number and making a request. For specialty
trees, I can get ahold of most anything and get it started for you if you would
like. Just let me know. The same with
shrubs and perennials, I can only afford to carry so much at one time but would
try and get what you ned if not for this season then next. Thanks to all who attended
my open house. I appreciate it.
