What an interesting time these past couple months have been.  First so much rain it set new records (21" in May alone!).  It finally dried enough for the first time on 6 weeks to mow around the cabin.  There are mushrooms everywhere, and wildflowes abundantly.  I have begun work on a small patio for the cabin.  It will reduce mowing, yes, but also give me an area to sit in the shade, and enjoy the evening air when I am home.  The garden is producing abundantly, tomatos, and even the cornand eggplant are doing well.  I found some sand plum trees with ripe fruit.  Had never seen these trees before!

Ialso recently acquired more acreage, and with it came an older cabin, two more gates, one with a finished driveway directly off the county road, and an electric pole.  It is said to have a well, but it is very overgrown (again all that rain), and I have not found it yet.
