Blog Day Afternoon

Yesterday we went to the Beach Store Cafe on Lummi Island. A 30 minute drive, 5 minute ferry ride, and 100 foot walk, to the best salmon & chips on the planet. We brought graph paper, our seed list, and the square foot gardening book to plan our garden while we ate. Yum! Great food, great beer, and great staff.

Today we hung the front gates. What a nice feeling to know we're safe & sound behind our perimeter. Now the dogs can roam around and poop in the entire yard if they so choose.

Time for dinner - chili, and beer, and no doubt more beer. And oat-raspberry bars for for dessert.

Work week hiatus

So here's what goes on while we're working all week. You'd think these guys would want to pitch in and earn their keep. Looks like nothing constructive will get done until Saturday, though the new big beefy posts are set & waiting for the front gates to be installed. We made some Atholl Brose, which is basically scotch, honey and oats left to sit for a few days and strained to drink. Haven't gotten to the drinking part yet, and it looks very....interesting. No wonder Scots are so hardy!
