Not sure why it wouldn’t let me post the actual video. So I’ll try again

Made it back to the farm and somehow powered through an entire day of work. Shopping done, garage nearly cleared (thank you, Cousin Linda), and in the middle of all the dust we kept finding little treasures — pieces of the past that brought the memories rushing back. Now we wait for the dump trailer and move on to the next project. What a day.
. Shout out to for the supplies and for getting me there safe.

Day #5….i’m losing track. Day didn’t start off well with failed garage fixing of the doors. Back to ACE for more parts. Once back second wind came back. Clear door closed up, garage door sealed, windows closed up. No more big animals getting to clear now! New side door in garage and all sealed up. Tired for my mailbox, but the rain and more failures got me. Everything in cleaned up and closed down. Not ready to leave, I could stay here forever.

Day #4. Started slow with family, walk to the falls, cemetary, and shopping. Food and drinks were the focus. But thankfully I got my second wind. Empty trailer begging for more trash. Kitchen cleared out and a bedroom. Everyday here ends with a beer and bonfire. I’ll get used to this!

Day #3 completed. Dug out the fire pit, started the fire with all the cut wood and branches. Then went to clean out the kitchen. Man so much trash (don’t tell my mom). Then we did some yardwork and cleaning up the leaves and I got to use a chainsaw for the first time after multiple attempts. My cousin Linda is saying I’m learning to be a good . Talked to some neighbors and called it a night.

Day #2. Today we visited family and went to lunch. Came back and went straight to work cleaning out the fallen tree to make a path to main house. Got a trailer, filled it, and finished cleaning out garage. Done!! Took a walk around the farm. Found out we have a meadow, a creek, and a swamp. Found some treasures on the way. ❤️

Here’s some pics to keep everyone in the loop. Busy day started with shopping and then the drive in. We cleaned out most of the garage and the driveway. Cousin Linda is a blessing to have by my side. It is so nice to be back on the farm and loving it! First time at Menards and Meijer good resources to have.
