Blog-A-Day

Thanks Carolyn for not letting me be a lazy blogger this Summer.

Right before Memorial Day weekend our neighbor and my husband made a deal. He is an excellent heavy machine worker and has friends with really big machines. The hubs is a hard working HVAC journeyman. We needed a fence row cleared. Remember when the hubs started clearing it in January and immediately cut his leg with a chainsaw. Well I've been belly aching about the goats needing pasture to save on the feed bill. With Summer here you can't get very far into the woods without being covered in ticks and the snakes, good grief, the snakes. The neighbor needed all new duct work under his house. The friend with the excavator wanted the neighbors dump truck bed. So Memorial day weekend the tradin' started. In about four hours the neighbor had the fence row cut and then we said what about a pond. So two days later we had a pond and it rained buckets that weekend :) I guess it rained pretty good last night and the pond is filling up some more :))))) The deep end of the pond is 15 feet to the top of the dam. The hubs put a big tree in the bottom for the fish that we will eventually stock it with. The hubs worked 16 hours straight Saturday and got his part of the bargain done. Not without achy shoulders, knees, and elbows but it's done and we couldn't be happier with our pond :))))

The two logs are going to be a bridge across what will eventually be a waterfall. They will probably end up moved since the water will/should get as high as where they are at.
