A stopping point for now,

Bellboy?

Oh wait, it's Scott and Sadie

taking bags to the truck.

Grace

trying the new driveway.

Mickey on the Deere.

Good job!

Loading the trailer.

Let's take a look at the newer driveway.

It is wider than before.

Coming in.

At the back door.

Moving on.

By the south side.

And to the front of the cabin.

Much easier.

We need more gravel,

but not while it is still so wet.

It would be too hard to spread.

Other improvements.

Look closely at this picture.

Can you see the water seeping?

It goes through this drain.

and out the down hill side.

More humming birds

in the evening.

Good night!

A Deere and a Bobcat Working Together

Scott shoots a laser thing-a-ma-jigger

(previously known as a transit

before it was a laser treatment).

It checks the slope.

The slope determines how the water

will run or not.

It beeps.

And he knows how much dirt to move.

Pretty impressive, huh?

The Deere and the Bobcat.

Mickey operates the Bobcat.

Scott runs the Deere.

Now the longer, replacement culvert.

Precision digging.

"I think it is a couple of inches

high in the center."

"OK, let's get a reading"

"Beep"

"Beep"

"We need to lower the center

a couple of inches"

"Perfect"

Cover it up!

This one needed a little adjustment.

Can you dig it?

The Deere and the Bobcat,

"YES WE CAN."

End of the day,

while the humming birds are feeding,

Grace tried to catch one.

They wanted to feed on her beautiful,

red hair.

Planning the next project.

Let's finish up some unfinished projects, first.

Rock and Roll Rodeo

The arena "before"

Remember the BIG pine tree

that we took down

on Memorial weekend?  

This is what is left - a BIG tree stump!

To set it free, Scott had to loosen it...

on all sides,

grab it

and PULL!

Out of shoot #1,

Mickey was ready to lasso it

with a chain.

Up.. Up.. Up

and down the mountain!

Time? 3 hours

Better luck next time, boys!

Out of shoot #2,

Mickey, the Bobcat and the ROCK!

Ride 'em cowboy!

 Going down.

ooops...

it got away!

Rock and Roll!

He hung on and

wrangled it into

a perfect position.

A record time for Mickey!

A beautiful morning in the mountains!

I love to see the clouds across the valley

when they hang on the mountains.

Look what is parked in the

unloading zone!

Looks like tomorrow is a work day!

And look what I found in the wheel!

It is Sadie!

Goodbye again!

"What happens at the cabin stays at the cabin."

24 bottles of fun...

...and a good time was had by all!

What a beautiful evening!

As the sun sets,

the little humming birds tank up for the night.

Lunch, Longaberger,Laughter

Lunch on the deck.

Longaberger on the deck.

Now this is the way to party-

Longaberger in the mountains!

hmmm... what to order?

Everyone found something!

It was a great party!

Thank you, girls!

Back to scrappin'

Lounging at the stream.

Lovin' the cool, flowing water!
