Just few posts for this morning.  Given the arctic blast of cold air that descended from the north (it is a windy 18 degrees at the moment), I’ll be inside most of the afternoon and evening. So, I’ll do some more posts later today.

Before the cold weather arrived, it was warm enough yesterday for me to disassemble the fence and roof of the “chicken” shack, which was really a dove cage. But, I still call it the chicken shack. In its place will be a series of raised garden beds for now. Still much work to be done, as the propane tank and the water tank both need to be moved. We are keeping the fencing around the shack in place for the time being so the dogs don’t get out.

Here are some before and after photos:

A few days ago we got the big willows in the back taken down and the stumps removed. It’s a mess, but am happy the trees are gone. The lean-tos will be disassembled at some point and, hopefully, replaced by a barn.
