Well, the wheat's still green, but during the last two weeks, two wonderful things have happened!
1) We have POWER, as in electricity (pictures coming later, when DH returns to the West Side).

2) We moved the storage shed from its home above (where the pole barn is going to go) down below, next to the cabin, so it can be a garden shed in the future. It took all day. We had to find and trim 4 logs to use as rollers under the shed. Then DH used the tractor to both pull it gently down the slope and also to keep gravity from moving it too quickly. Here's a picture of it half-way down:

I love your A Frame house! We use to go to a lake when I was a kid that had an A Frame cabin. Very cool to be in the loft.

Wow, I love your place. Good luck with your wheat -- I need to check our region to see if growing it here is a possibility, as I make our own bread, etc. Bravo on moving the shed -- how many feet did it have to move?

Well, now it's official--I am a slacker. You are one amazing woman. "We cut and trimmed four roller logs--" "We grow wheat"-- "...down the slope... (which you must have made yourserlves)". Yesterday I washed my bedding and weeded out front. :-)

I am jealous of the wheat. We are only growing weeds around here.

Now that is nice looking "shed." Made me feel funny seeing that hole right next to it, though. Made for a fun entertaining day, I'm sure.....
