Welcome to our blog

Even though I am starting 4 years into the process, I am going to document my experience with raising a family. After finding out that you can print your blog into a book, I decided this would be one of the best gifts I could give to my children and to myself. The moments are precious but life is moving at such a fast pace that I just don't have time to appreciate it all. I want my kiddos to know how much they are loved even when life is crazy...Enjoy.

Cleaning up our woods

We spent a good lot of our spring addressing the bajillion honeysuckle plants infesting our little patch of woods.  We our becoming more and more interested in agroforestry and finding ways to grow food in our woods. Low intensive farming with high yields and lots of shade.  Sounds good to me.  However, you have to get the honeysuckle under control in order to let anything else have a chance.  We had a couple of honey suckle bonfires and we will still need to get a wood chipper to put it all to rest.   Hopefully, the wild ginger and may apples took advantage and encrouched on honeysukcle territory...
