Friday

I didn't do much today, just took it easy for the most part. Took some pictures, along the Rock River, at Seward Park in Rock Falls. I also went down to the Hennepin Feeder Canal, near Tampico, and got s few nice shots. I sure do need practice.

I got a call from Jim about the building, I haven't been there since Monday and I guess he was beginning to wonder if I got lost. He has gotten a lot more of the block down and took out another window. I will be back at it on Monday whether I am ready or not. I hope to recover more over the weekend.

Then last I went home and got the fence around the garden. We have a lot of plants ready to go in but the rabbits will get them if we don't fence it off. I hope it will be enough, I have seen rabbits get though this type before. Turned out to be 15'x48'.

I talked to a friend who had tried to take have grown wild rabbits and pen them up. He said they just died. It must be too much for wald rabbits to cope with. I really want to get some ducks and geese. I would have to have the back yard fence in to do that anyway. Most of it is done, except the one side that you can see above. One more tree needs to come out and all the stumps ground out. It happens to be the tree in the center of the picture. 

In another few weeks I should have the Round Grove project done and be laying the block for the greenhouse.

  1. wow, you got a lot of Canadian Honkers there where you live to? They all over up here by where I live. They all got babies right now to and they sure grow up fast. Seems like they borne and about 5 weeks later they look like their moms and dads. They are all grown and flying away. Hugs JJ

    JJ thanks for letting me know what sort of geese they are - I looked, didn't know and wondered.
    Jim's making good progress - it will def make easier when you get back.
