Working in the garden
On the day that it almost looked like Autumn, we worked in the garden. Still working on the basics of the vegetable garden. It need some more time and years to get the veggie garden fully functional. But for now it is a start. And with my new (2nd hand) yellow wheelbarrow, filling the compost heap is so much easier.
Summertime!
It is also summertime and vacation on our homestead in France. We enjoyed having friends over. Relaxed a bit at a lake and discovered lots and lots of beautiful sunflowers just down the road.
Preserving and using the dehydrator
Finally our kitchen is becoming much more usable as we are still renovating it. Our goal is to make it usable and in the meantime upgrade it when possible and when we want to. Also one of the goals is to add a solar power outlet to it. To use the solar power bank when full and also to use solar power when the sun in shining. And so we want to see how much our dehydrator is using from our solar power.
We had a wonderful week. It was warm, sunny and we enjoyed being on our Homestead in France. We left the renovations for a few days and wind down a bit after a nice cup of coffee in the morning.
About 2 years ago we started keeping our first chickens. We didn’t have a large backyard, but 2 chickens would fit in.
We are moving to France. Together with our two Sphynx cats (Noël and Izzy) and eventually also our chickens.
