Scattered

Well it became very clear to me today that our approach to dealing with our farm chores is a "scattered" approach.  We never finish any task before we get involved with another.  Today's chore was clearing out some of the vines which are growing underneath our trees that manage to find a way into the tree's canopy eventually killing it by choking out all the light needed for the tree's leaves.  This is very problematic and widespread. 

We are happy to announce that we have managed to finally get a couple hands to help us on the farm.  These two souls first came to our attention as nail picker uppers.  We gave them their official worker gloves at a low key ceremony and set them to work.  One worker had considerable trouble figuring out where her thumbs and fingers went in her gloves, but after 30 minutes or so she was ready to get to work.

Progress is continuing on the house.  The plumber finally showed up this week and did most of his topping out chores.  While we were working, the HT/AC crew continued their work installing vents, lines, etc.  Most of the windows are in, although some need to be reordered because of some architectural challenges. 

 

 

Finally, you know it's home when you can see some of your special requests being installed.  The dogs were thrilled to see the doggie door hung!  Now they can come and go as they want.  We may be rethinking this special feature...
