Same Day Out..

We lucked onto a new viewing area with parking and winding trails.  This is right up my alley but sadly Hubby can't climb nor walk a lot.

Our view from the first look off was spectacular but then I spotted a trail.  Hubby waited for me to explore.

First I saw this...okay, but how high can it be, really.

After quite a steep hike I saw another sign.

I can't see the top.

I can't see the bottom.

And yes, that is a person falling off a cliff on the sign!

At the summit even the trees were falling over the bluff.

The view was worth the hike even in ninety plus temps.

Right then left Norfork River as far as I could see.

An island and a little white water was way down the river.

I saw rocks and wild flowers.  The descent was very steep.  I had to use my brakes a lot. I saw a new view and I was loving the planet, a wonderful creation.  I was thankful when I reached the bottom.  I acted tough as if the height did not bother me.  I was telling Hubby how beautiful the view was.  He saw me coming and had a drink and a air conditioned truck waiting for me.

Gotta love a man that encourages you to have an adventure even if he no longer can.  I think I will keep him.

Cold Frame/Worm Bed Progress

Trimmed and weed free...notice that the top is deeper than the bottom.  That is because it was dug completely under ground with the lay of the land then rocked.

These are all around the edging where the old wooden frame has rotted.  I do believe I can reuse these with some miracle worker like WD-40 and frame for doors...if I want.  Don't know yet. Playing it by ear.

Sweet Hubby brings me a scoop full of white sand to mix with the compacted soil in the bottom.  Then for the next layer of farm gold...horse, cow and chicken poop all mixed nicely.  Add some green compost, stir again and add water.  Will check on the "heat" (composting items will raise the temperature) of the mix if not too hot should be able to add worms shortly.

With doors it can double as a cold frame.  Without it can be a composted wormy heaven.

Beginning the dampening and mixing process....

forgetting and leaving the water on!!!!!

Since this is beach front property

tiny neighbors are already moving in.
