The snow was above these garden beds. Now that it’s melted (temporarily) I can see what needs to be done again and get back to planning homestead projects.

I want to grow more food to offset going freelance. It’s expensive in Maine!

Things I’d love to do this year:
- get a bunch of hemlock boards to build more above-ground garden beds (better in Northern climates)
- get a hoop house (large greenhouse)
- build a farm stand

Going to need to make $$$ or barter.

We hit a beautiful 68°F in central Maine today. It was surreal experiencing warm breezes while being surrounded by snow and ice.

II’m pretty happy about this #StudioGhibli tattoo I just got yesterday.

I finally pulled the trigger on buying an older riding lawn mower. But I got way overexcited by how well it was chopping through our overgrown yard and started taking it down into the forest. Apparently it has a lot more traction going downhill than uphill.

Luckily the previous owner showed me the "push it out when it gets stuck" switch so I was able to pull it out (gently!) with the tractor.

I would do this kind of stuff full time if it paid the bills 😁
