On The Way

Mad at the world


Piled up


A bit earlier.

We are so excited! We are having company come to visit us tomorrow. So we will be spending most of today racing around the house to clean everything up, chase out the field mice and shoo away any lingering hunters. I just wish we could get Gerome to stop staring out the window and give us a hand. It's like he has a chip on his shoulder or something. He makes it seem like there is just so much snow here, when if he looked out the other windows he would see there is hardly any left with this rain that we are getting today.

Still Safe From The Hunt

On guard for thee

Almost two months have gone by and of us are safe from the mighty hunters. It seems that hunters go foraging for moose like myself in September but as if to say that is not enough they go foraging again in November for deer. Deer look an aweful lot like myself which means I still have to hide out in the house here in the burg. I don't mind being inside all this time as I have lots of friends here to keep me company. Pig is doing a fine job watching out for the hunters, but I know that they are close by. Today I heard a shot fired in our back field and a mighty orange man drove by our window on a four wheeling vehicle. I hope that everyone in the back field is okay.

Safe From The Hunt

Can't get us here!

Hi. We are just having a great time in the living room watching all of the mighty hunters wander all over the fields looking for moose. What a shame. Silly hunters, thinking I would be outside in the bushes when I could be here having a great time and staying warm.

"Über die Planke schicken"

celebrate talk like a pirate day in german. It is good for what ails you and can be lots of fun. Arrrr!

The Pile Up

Eddy thought it was a good idea to clean out the barn before the barn collasped and swallowed up everything inside. Dorothea agreed and with that a pile was started. The pile has gotten quite large and spread along the backside of the barn in quick fashion.

The Way Home?

Well, I am going to be alone for a while again! It has been great to have the company. Dorothea is leaving today for the long flight home, which is confusing when you have so many places to call home. I will count the days until when you all come back over the pond and see me. Meanwhile I might go out and help the guys work on the big barn. There is such a mess out back to clean up.

Building Bee

Framing the peak.


Piecework for the framing.

Things are coming along. One building almost up and another to go. Just hope it doesn't rain tonight. Moose don't smell pretty when they get wet and this roof is still leaky!

Johnny Appleseed

You have apples!

This is from one of the trees you purchased this year and planted down in behind the pool area. The apples aren't too big, but there are quite a few of them on the tree. Hopefully Eddy won't eat them all before Dorothea returns!

Throw A Barn Together

In less than a day this much was done.

In The Middle Of Darkness

This arrived late in the middle of darkness last night. It seems that sometimes things only get done in the late hours of the night. A truckload of wood boards for the building arrived at 12:50AM to be exact. Seems we have a wood fairy in the burg!

How did this get past you Eddy?

Nice To Look At

Lupins in a field by Kilarney


Other side of same field of Lupins

This field of lupins look really neat to look at when you drive by them. Full of vibrant purples, pinks and whites. But the downside of these flowers is that they spread like wildfire and dominate the fields and are super hard to get rid of when you grown to not like them anymore.
Great flowers... if, they are not yours.

They Have Bloomed

Grouping in the bed behind house


Bush in bed behind house

It has been so boring staying in the house all day long. So, I went out and took these pictures to show you some of what is growing around the house. As you can see there are a lot of nice colors shaping up in the yard.

I have been trying to read up on the book about dry stonewall construction. I am just not too sure how much help I can be. There weren't many pictures and I have a hard time to read.
Maybe they do installation of stonewall at Home Depot!

Hope you come home soon. It is getting very hot and we actually have some sun to look at.

Truly,
Eddy

Building Starts

Lot cleared and post dug.



Post outline of building.

It can be exciting to see something being built from the ground up. It will be interesting to see how this project finishes up.

Moose Missing You

I can't wait for you guys to get back here. You are missing out on all of the flowers and the birds not to mention your great neighbors. I am almost finished reading this huge farming book you left. Keep checking back to see what else is going on here.

Missing you,
Moose
