I woke up today, and found a new follower to The Compound; Sunnybrook Farm. It's truly amazing to me the number of folks that drop by. Check out their blog, and a couple of their other ones as well;
The world of natural fertilizers;

The world of spiders found on a W. VA farm;

I put a link over to the right for Sunnybrook Farm and My Brown Movement, but will pass on the spiders. I'm still a city girl at heart!
Welcome and thank you for stopping by.

2014 To Do Lists
Well, it's that time of year again. Time to reflect and time to look forward to 2014. As in years past, I review my "must have" and "wish lists", to see how far we've come, what we missed and what needs to be added.
We have a few hits and misses, throw in some quick changes or events and you'll always seem to come up short. So, as you'll see below, the 2013 list remains and I've added a few more items as well.
Finish the pump house and reverse osmosis system
Purchase and plant additional blueberry plants
Purchase and plant additional asparagus plants
Build a couple of raised beds; garlic, peas, lettuce, etc
Install chicken wire on the chicken run wall, between the two
areas. Then we’ll be ready for chicks.
Hatch out more chicks
Finish the exterior of the outdoor pizza oven
Become efficient cooking outdoors; dutch oven, outdoor pizza oven, etc
Continue with weapons training
New Roof for Tiki Hut
Outdoor kitchen and prep area
Set Up Solar Panel Array
Finish storage shipping container
Learn more about raising pigs (ongoing)
Wish List
Purchase another shipping container
Learn how to capture and process wild hogs
Dock railing
Try out aquaculture using our Tilapia pond

Moving Right Along
We showed up this past Saturday to The Compound, and when, what do my wondering eyes should appear? Patrick with paint up to his ears!
How awesome is that?!!!
The rest of the gang, the boys, Trina and Phillipe were already working on the ramp for the container, when we showed up.
The Moose joined the party, and it's another project done! They actually finished three projects; the ramp, the foundation for a trailer and filling in some other holes.
R&B brought over their hot dog cart, and we had a feast fit for kings! It was a bit cloudy and breezy, finally a Saturday where temperatures were reasonable.
It's Saturdays like this one, when you really get a feeling of accomplishment.
