I made several items to decorate the camp...

Here's what the inside of the camp looks like!!

The camp trim hadn't been painted for many years, and I decided to paint the rails as well. I think it really brightens it up!

There was an old rotten shed buried at the very edge of the property. I dug up most of it, and it took Dave 2 trips to the dump to get rid of it.

The camp walkway was either completely buried, or overrun with grass. I dug it all out and changed it. I also put deer resistant flowers in the front. I also cleared and made a mulched path from the camp to the pumphouse.

More animal visits...

We had HUNDREDS of fiddleheads! You are only supposed to pick 1/3 to 1/2 so that it doesn't deplete the plant. I know I am short, but now the ferns are so tall!!

It has been quite a while since I posted any photos! We have put so much hard work into this property the last several months, and we are proud of the progress we've made! This first batch is from the middle of May...

Photos from week 1 working outside...

Late last fall, Dave and I purchased a nearby property that included a small cottage, or "camp" as it is called here, and a 2 story garage. While the cottage and garage are in good shape, the grounds on the property haven't been maintained for several years and it will take a lot of work to get it back to its former glory. I love working outside, so challenge accepted!! Every week, I will share before and after pictures of our progress. Welcome to our journey!
