Today the replacement trees for the ones that didn't make it in the orchard arrive. Yesterday was spent digging out old/dead trees, enlarging holes, rippingout happu'u to mulch for planting mix. Misadventure of the day: Hubby is here and helping out. He is definitely a city boy. Managed to runover the chain saw with the tractor. Went to town last night and just bought a new chain saw. Old one is probably repairable but we need those trees in this afternoon and there is a lot of cutting and mulching to be done. Now we will have a backup... what the heck!
Randy, our carpenter, has the cabin half finished. It is looking great with a Hipped roof and 6 foot deck out front. He should be able to move in by this weekend.
Ed, the Ranch Hand, has been tempermental. He is such a great worker but just wants more out of life than I have to offer. Hope things settle down. If not I will be looking for a new ranch hand, so if anyone knows anyone looking for work......
Have had to adertise for general laborers. We have heavy work that just needs more hands. Good laborers are hard hard hard to find here. Should be interesting.
We bought fresh manure from the local Indian Reservation. Now it sits and cures for a couple weeks. Didn't really save me any money over buying bagged manure from Home Depot and cost me extra time but the reservation can use the money and we all need to help one another out. Remember to keep that spirit going as you make your decisions. It's part of the "Pammie Philosophy": If you can do something nice for someone else and it doesn't cost you anything, JUST DO IT---- and if it does cost you something, sometimes DO IT ANYWAY!
Keep your comments and ideas coming. I find them most encouraging.
May you live in interesting times.

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
