Making jambalaya on the deadwood stove

July 21st, 2012 No comments

Today I picked up a new 5 quart cast iron Dutch oven and the ingredient for jambalaya. After picking up several limbs from out in the timber I had the deadwood stove up and running in no time.

Finding wild asparagus patches

July 15th, 2012 No comments

A friend told me about a few wild patches of asparagus next to the road. The girls and I cruised the country roads between home and those spots looking for wild patches. In all we recorded 5 great patches on the GPS. The GPS should make it easy to find next spring.

Took the ducklings to the pond for the first time

July 15th, 2012 No comments

We took the 5 mixed breed ducklings down to the pond for the first time. They’re loving life.

Here they are with the big ducks enjoying a little cracked corn.

Making an improvement to the lawn cart

July 12th, 2012 No comments

This project is one that I’ve been wanting to accomplish for months. The draw bar on the lawn cart was short enough that attaching it with a hitch pin to the four wheeler was a real pain. For $35 I was able to buy the new 1 7/8″ ball and the matching hitch with the necessary bolts to attach everything.

I had some oak board laying around that I used to attach the hitch to the trailer after drilling holes and cutting it to length.

It’s now so much easier And faster to attach and detach the lawn cart.
