The year is coming to an end….

After all the damage endured here… from the severe spring storms…

…just before Christmas I finally got the 3 HUGE things updated and replaced… NEW Well Pump, NEW HVAC System, NEW Roof being the  FINALE (it’s red too LOL ‘‘tis the season)…. Amongst the other smaller things that needed repairs from the storms and down trees cut up. Still some clean up work to be completed but for the most part…

…. all is well and good ready for a NEW SEASON in 2025.

Quite the year here though …. I did not have two of my three Glamping Sites running at all after the storms because of damages….

My Christmas Catus Plant is blooming just in time….its so faithful!

Love Tim’s Shop…. But sharing this cause when I first saw the picture I honestly thought it was a Christmas Decorations…. 🤣

Crackle backs are a staple when the water is low and clear. I'll have a fresh batch ready for the trout, for next Friday.

Light rainfall occurred earlier this morning, it wasn't much as most areas are 2-3" behind normal, but it's better than most have seen over the last month.

While we did get moisture, it is still not safe to burn. The foliage and ground will soak what little rain we got up quickly, and it's likely that by the end of the day, you will not be able to tell it rained.

Burn bans are still inplace, and are enforced, so please
DO NOT BURN!
