Seven Weekends in a Row

So the wife and I just finished our seventh weekend in a row up at the site. This past weekend was a retreat for her roller derby team. But of course, I couldn't bring myself to relax so I spent Saturday morning building a fire pit out of very heavy rocks. This was interspersed with mowing the pasture and bringing the chainsaw down to the creek to start removal of deadfall. I plan to work on this some more in the coming weekends, as there is some serious stream blockage down there.

The landscaping is done, with just some tweaking to do after some torrential rainfalls. Overall we're very pleased. The mudswamp that used to exist right behind the barn is no longer present. The stone stairs are a little big, but look great. A future handrail is planned which will surely help tremendously.

We also got a very nice bookshelf and dresser off of freecycle for th site. More storage is always good.
