Busy Day at Blackberry Homestead

October 14, 2024

As soon as I had Nox settled, I put more items in the fridge and a couple of things in the freezer.

On the top shelf, you can see the clear bins I bought to help keep the fridge better organized.

This morning I finished picking up sticks and rocks in the front yard.

While picking up sticks, I discovered a yellow jacket nest in the ground. I luckily saw wasps flying out of hole in the ground. I am just lucky I noticed the wasps flying around and didn’t step on the hole.

Here’s my bucket full of rocks. I picked up rocks and put them into my bucket. It was a lot easier to deal with than carrying the rocks in my hands.

Here’s the burn pile partially circled with rocks.

I started moving large sticks in the back pasture. I gave it up after I looked down and realized it was poison ivy that had brushed my ankle!

I went inside and scrubbed my ankle with Tecnu.

I did find the turning leaves of the poison ivy pretty, the same way I find deadly snakes pretty.

I am taking a break from pulling out the dreaded poison ivy this week.

I began to pick up remodeling trash. It appears when remodeling the master bathroom, some tiles and other bits were thrown out the bathroom window. I rather like the tile color I found. It was a light teal, maybe more on the blue side.

I also wanted to share this picture I took of Nox to send to Bruce.
