During some crazy mini storms we found ourselves with an abundance of downed branches, so it was time for another little burn. Putting the burn pile on a bramble patch I got two birds with one stone.😁

Black walnuts

25m with pick axe and shovels. 🙈

This is our hand dug trench for the new electrical conduit that is coming from the orangery to the new pad - for the little pump house we are building.

Thanks to a lovely neighbor for his help: we finally got the new wall filled with concrete. 44 bags plus gravel.

Autumn mowing. With the rains, mists and heavy dews, we waited weeks, for grass dry enough to mow. Then finally got a window (mostly dry). I mowed for 3 hours straight, getting about half done, before I was chased in by a squall.

We found the fosse and pool plumbing at the orangery.
-
And more pruning
-
Brush cutting… slow and steady. This is where the solar panels are going.

We have been exploring the wines From one appellation over. Madiran might actually be better than our own st Mont.. not to worry we are equidistant from both coop stores. 😆

Yum

Closer and closer.

Bit by bit.

Progress! The concrete pad for the new pool technical room is complete.

Footing poured. 80 sacks of ready mix and one very long day. Sincere thanks to our wonderful neighbor for helping me with this. It would never have happened without him.
