first of all, jason, my dad, and i  spent last saturday cleaning out and organizing the area around the barn. it was a really long, hard work day, but extremely fun overall and rewarding. here’s what the barn looks like now (check out my post about revealing the barn to see what kind of junk was in it/around it before):

the area around the back of the barn where we’ve stacked useful items that don’t need to be kept out of the elements.

more stuff!

and more…

tomorrow my dad and i are going to do a lot of work in the yard to get the area cleaned up and looking good for the wedding. here’s what we plan on doing (hopefully we’ll get it all done!):

n

cleaning all of the junk out of this trailer and moving the trailer if we’re strong enough!

n

relocating this hugelkulture wood pile.

n

moving these bundles of brush and removing the leaves so they can be used in our wattle fencing.

n

moving all of this organic matter from around the station wagon in the front yard and finding it a new home in a compost pile.

n

clearing these heavy, rusty, old appliances out of the way so they’re not in view.

n

and if we have time: moving all of this trash/junk from a spot on our land where a trailer used to be (years ago).

so, wish us luck!
