Spring Catchup

My brain is in about as much disarray as my desk right now and that means it’s not pretty. I would like to write in more detail… but think I will let the pictures on my camera tell the story for me. There are a LOT of pictures, so I think this post will be in a few pieces.

Here's standing on the road looking down the fence that divides the "garden" side of the property from the house side.  THat's a pile of compost we purchased to jump start our gardens.  Haven't gotten it moved yet.

This is the grass-covered driveway easement on the side of the property.  If you look with a magnifying glass, you can see the big gate to the back field there on the left.

Many parts of our property are really, really wet.  We had to make ourselves a path of some concrete edgers we had handy just so we could run a wheelbarrow across the ground. When we move the bricks again, this is what it looks like.

Because of the standing water, we decided to dig a ditch along where the blueberries are to lower the water table.  You can see Brian assembling the garden bed that we will hopefully plant stuff in asap!

We decided to line up the fence with the corner of the shop.  And we decided to not close in the driveway with the fence at the top.  Maybe a mistake, since now there is grass between the fence and the driveway that I don't know what to do with.
