December 2018
We took advantage of a little reprieve from severe winter weather in order to start building some snow fencing. Our road is just to the right of the fence, and the wind can be fierce from the south (left to right in the photo) which means our road got some nasty drifts last year.
It took until December 31st, but we had our first "big" (maybe 5 inches?) snowfall and the snow fencing worked great! Yay!
The rest of the month was mostly filled with ongoing farm chores. Mike goes to Helena once per week to pick up food waste from several coffee shops and an organic grocer, so he's been busy making compost to improve the limited soil we have here. (They truly are called the ROCKY mountains for a reason!) He also has several bins of worms in the basement that he feeds our food scraps to in order to make another type of compost called "vermiculture." And he has been busy chipping our old slash piles in order to make mulch for the gardens. Hopefully all this work will be worth it once we can plant our spring gardens!
And the last project of the month was building our daughter (age 6) a bed frame. Poor girl has had her mattress and box spring just sitting on the floor ever since she graduated from her toddler bed when she was three. She deemed the wait to have been worth it, because she finally got the bed frame of her dreams!
The goal for January is to make bed frames for the mattresses we just ordered for the vacation home, in order to be open for rental by spring time!
