Welcome Spring!!

What a fantastic weekend!  Saturday we spent the entire day cleaning up the yard at home and Sunday we spent the day at Watermark Woods.  We replaced one of the chainsaws and the gas hedger so we were anxious to get to work!

Chris cleared some brush around the deer stand.  We really like that area because it is right along the creek and it would make such a pretty picnic spot someday.  As we were standing along the edge of the creek admiring the water flow,  Chris noticed green handlebars across the creek.  We discovered it was a lawn mower.  That is just so typical of the things we find.  It was as if it quit working so they just left it where it was.

Jackson and I worked the garden.  We got 6 of the 12 beds turned over and ready for planting and we dug rows for corn at the rear of the garden.  Then we planted peas, limas, and fava beans.  We also dug outside the garden fence and planted a row of flowers.  Jackson scoped out a great spot in the woods and we planted mushroom spores.  Unfortunately none of the native herbs we planted last fall survived.  Next week is the native plant sale so maybe we can stock up and re-plant. 

Chris also hung some blue bird boxes by the garden.  On our way out we fixed the front gate and we were able to lock things up as we left.  Hopefully we have seen the last of those pesky thieves.

Below are some photos from our new deer camera.
