Work Weekend

This past weekend was supposed to be Work Weekend for our upcoming Beltain celebration in a few weeks. No one but us showed. So, we actually got a lot more done by ourselves than we probably would have! Here are some highlights:

Bill pulling stump - work weekend 2014
Bill finally got that stump pulled where the new driveway is going to be. We also moved several iris bulbs, daffodils and lily of the valley out to the woods.

Lilacs
The lilacs are blooming!

butterfly in lilacs
Can you find the black and yellow butterfly?

clover in the campground
Look what we found in the campground! I take this as a sign that the fairies like us. :)

Found along the new trail - work weekend 2014
Found along the new trail from the campground to the east fence.

Pansies - work weekend 2014
Planted pansies this year around the four quarters. I couldn't find a single pansy last year but this year I found all four colors!

Lunch at work weekend 2014
Took a little lunch break.

We also squared up the shower house which had leaned a bit over the winter. We split several loads of wood, hauled it and stacked it in the campground. I got my middle finger smashed in the log splitter - not bad but the nail is bruised and it's still a little sore.

We managed to clean up the last of the shelter that we lost over winter and haul it all up to the house for disposal. I planted a BUNCH of flowers and bulbs in the campground and along the road so next year we will have more spring color than this year.

We got sprinkled on a few times but not enough to actually go inside on Saturday. On Sunday we managed to finish up a few things before the rain came. The afternoon was pretty much a wash (no pun intended) as storms came through all afternoon and evening. Woke up this morning to a much greener and cleanly washed world!

Cell signal is wonky down here today - we can send and receive texts but no calls. Oh well, I'm working today anyway.
