Spent the afternoon brush-hogging. When I first moved here, I cleared a small trail down to the creek that flows through the valley. In subsequent years, it has returned to nature but I have been restoring it. The confluence of the two creeks is a delightful spot and have been thinking of a small tree-house or even just a platform to hang out. A friend was planning to build a fence and purchased a load of pressure-treated timber and subsequently changed their minds. I bought it from them and this would be a perfect use.
About one third of the way there. There was a spot that was really marshy with tall grass when I cut there two weeks ago - my feet got wet. Returning to it today, it was nice and dry, even after the rains we had last week.
Did a pot of beef stew this morning so will have that for dinner and lunch this week. Also did some coleslaw - got a nice recipe developed. Lulu worked in the garden and hung out indoors and read - it got pretty hot outside.
Our monthly water board meeting is in about an hour - time to grab a bowl of stew and a beer and then head over there.
