Bad Blogger ?

I said I'd be a bad blogger, but it's not for a lack of activity and excitement ;)

We're still at the big project with fencing, irrigation projects and a wide assortment of other farm projects.  Here's a few worth sharing.

The first couple of shots show the swales doing their job in a modest rainfall; catching the water, slowing it down and providing very good absorption.



We have all kinds of helpers ;)  This is Joey & Julia's puppy.  They are building a straw bale room addition to their cabin.


Here's a good shot of the Goslings.  They've been putting around and look pretty happy in Springtime.


We have quite a bit of sawmill work in process.  This week it started with small Red Cedar, then some big Cottonwood logs and lastly some large Walnut.


Here's the new straw-bale room framed and ready for bales.



Here's my cut of the lumber from the mill.


Sifting the clay to prepare for "cob" surface on the straw bales walls.
