Ok, an update on progress...
I have insulation and drywall on my west wall in living room and kitchen! And I learned how to tape and mud! Very exciting. Painting is progressing in other aareas as well. I also now have cabinets (my parents bought them for me as a surprise!) They will be installed in the next few weeks.

This weekend I cleared my west slope end of my driveway. It is my future strawberry patch. Also have started moving some rotting trees t my future hugelkultur bed. My garden patch at my neighbors is tilled and I am looking forward to working on it and getting things planted there.

My friend and I bought chicks and ducklings and out of 21 have lost 1 polish. They are a hoot! They are staying in a coop her husband built for her until I move then some or most will movewith me.

I also have found an abundance of wild strawberries growing on my place. Lets hope they produce! Along with all the blackberries and. Raspberries I should have plenty of jelly and pie filling this year.

I will post pics, or at least try to.
