The jack-in-the-pulpit on the property has returned. I didn’t know that one could grow them, but here you go: via the Spruce.

It’s been cold and wet lately. Yesterday I braved the black flies to finish building, levelling and aligning the floor beams. It may have been the first time I put the pythagorean theorem to use making the corners square.

The floor joists are next, though it’s currently raining with no break in the forecast until Tuesday.
The late morning was spend setting up the generator, then construction began. One beam constructed and levelled!

It was first hot day of the season. 27° by mid-afternoon, and the black flies I missed when I moved here a year ago, were reintroducing themselves. 😉

We planted two pear trees last spring. I can report that they survived the winter.
