Stringman:
Great work John! This place shaped up into a class A structure. Must feel good to have it at the "enjoy" phase and know how much effort in and money saved.

Thanks Scott.
I have been working hard this summer to build out the beekeeping project, this is a lot more involved and demanding of my time than I expected. However, after this week I should be able to step back for a couple weeks and let the bees do their honey production thing.
The weeks ahead are filled with fun activities and knapping opportunities, on Saturday will be doing a demo for the Burlington community and on monday for a Native American college course and I might do a knappin in mo thats coming up. On saturday afternoon Paul and I will continue work on the bows we started and I hope to start building hunting arrows for the points I have made this year. On the 24th we have a gathering of people and that should be great fun. It feels good to set the project list aside for awhile and slow down.
The garden is starting to come up real good next to the bees. I am hoping the bees will help keep the unwanted creatures at bay. We got a little rain yesterday but the ground is still really dry. The blackberries are looking real good this year and the bees most likely had a hand in their success.
Looking forward to deer hunting, the population has recovered well from the blue tongue disease that swept through this region a few years ago.
