To the critter who disarmed this bee hole, thank you much! #bees #nature #wildlife #bugs #patterns #landlife

100’ of conduit “sticks.” 350,000 lb of fill rock and dirt. We’re nothing if not thorough. It sounds like overkill, but you can’t go “underkill” on drainage problems <— I won’t say we learned that lesson the hard way, but we’ve learned it. We aren’t playing when it comes to #watermanagement and keeping our land and driveway in tip-top shape. #excavator #landlife #learntheland

Burnpile babysitting is a good excuse to cook dinner outside. That’s right: #glutenfree fry night! Who says us gluten freebs don’t know how to live? #chickenandwaffles #friedchicken

**Swipe all the way right for a cool ash video** Burning is one of my least favorite landowner things. The pollution, the accidental soil amendments, turning a critter habitat into a towering inferno, the gut-wrenching risk of starting an epic wildfire...my Girl Scout days might’ve made me overzealous about fire safety, if there’s such a thing. Anyway, there are less destructive ways to handle brush, but once in a blue moon, we burn. This huge pile lived in our future orchard for 2 years. This year, we’re finally ready to plant, so with excavators on site and after agitating the pile with the tractor for a few days to encourage animals to leave (the groundhog left a couple months ago), up it went. Then down it went, underground after only 24 hours of burning. Two years made the pile a lot less dense! It does make for a beautiful sight, even through our tired eyes from babysitting the fire overnight. #fire #firesafety #landlife #johndeere #bonfire #fireside #earthtodome

You know you’re in the right hood when the neighbor dogs are not only not overly fierce; they make great jogging buddies. #greatpyrennees #rescuedog #dogjogs #countrydog

Have you stepped inside the barnbungalow yet? I just realized how much I’ve neglected the Instaverse this year. I haven’t posted any pics of our new home’s interior 😯 It totally exists!
