Yes, that’s what I was thinking too after @RadishRose suggested it.

oh right, I forgot about the deer! BTW, I like the bench too.
I like the boardwalk and also the slab bench.
I love anything done with wood and rock, especially if it was gathered by the artiste.
Did you do the chainsaw carving by your shop? I like that even though you are no longer off grid, you are incorperating wood and rock at your new place.
Logs, rough sawn lumber, and flagstone where my favorite media when I lived in the mountains, off grid, east of you for 15 years.
No, I bought that from my sawyer friend for $100
Looked too much like me to pass it up
Had it at the cabin for a few years
Couldn't leave it there (it'd most likely 'walk' away)
Thanks for the up-close. There is a striking resemblance. Maybe work on getting your beard a bit more Billy Gibbons length hahaha!
Incredible year for gardening
Normally, the strawberries are done by end of June
The hot summer stifles new blossoms
But
The cool evenings have coaxed 'em back
My lady planted tomato seeds a bit ago to see what would happen
If I'd have known they'd flourish, I woulda built racks
I don't think we'll be buying tomato plants next year

Damn, that's a hell of a price - great deal.

Him and I exchange our treasures
This one was pretty special to me
So he offered the chip in of a hundred bucks
It's a good friendship
Reminds me, I need to travel that twenty miles up the path to visit him and his bride
Good folks
Woody sits down here, out by the shop door
Doesn't move much
But does get gussied up for winter

I never intended my comment to be funny. I consider both that tree and my friend Gary to be majestic souls.
Sorry, sweet lady, I saw the humor
You're too kind
One day that tree and me will keep a fire
We love stewed plums (or prunes??)
However, first we're canning plum jam
(I'm a jam freak)
Stage one
picked
Stage two
washed
At this juncture, I stay outa the kitchen
But....
Within earshot for moving the full canners

Harvest Time
Got about ten bins of these
The newly enclosed deck came in quite handy
(no steaming up of the kitchen)
Decided to prune the plum trees while picking
Didn't get too nuts with the loppers
The trees are holding up the rotten fence
Goin' to the recycle depot tomorrow
Yes, I tarped it

Are those canned plums or plum jam?

Now we have jam
Fruit leather takes awhile
Note;
Canning, of itself, is expensive
We talked about this
