All of my deep knowledge of technology, software, networks, WiFi… it all comes crumbling apart when there is no hot water and the water heater won’t work. 🙁

We are in full swing on the residing and window replacement project with Keyprime. All the windows have been replaced, most of the old cedar siding off, and the new LP going on. Big and messy project.

Our first year with the garden was a good success. We learned a lot and had successes and misses. Tammy and Mazie reset everything so we are ready to plant in the spring. We are giving one box just to strawberries.

Raised cedar and corrugated metal garden beds on gravel, mostly bare soil, with one bed full of strawberry plants, beside a metal sculpture and birdhouse pole in an autumn yard.

Our garden at the cabin has gone a bit wild on us. We haven’t been around enough to keep it well managed. The tomato plants are seemingly everywhere. I had no idea what broccoli does when you let it seed out. There was some giant stuff. We did get one of the beds cleared of everything except strawberries and the runners are going crazy. We are hoping for a big bounty of strawberries next year. We also got the blueberries with room to grow. The squash and tomatoes we are letting run free for now.

Our garden at the lake has gone wild! The tomatoes have pulled their cages out of the dirt! The tomatoes and squash are escaping to take over the yard. The strawberries are sending advanced troops out of the beds. Order must be restored. 🚨
