It has been a while since I posted under this category; actually it has been just over a year. I have been busy on the property; here is a short summary of the past year’s activity.

This summer the vegetable garden was above average; despite the wet weather towards the later part of the growing season. Most everything produced well except the cabbage and cauliflower. Even had a few melons. The peppers were exceptional.

Last spring, we went out and picked two 5 gallon pails of pine cones that have dropped over the past winter. These were used for Christmas decorations, especially for the wreaths that my better half made this past holiday season.

Speaking of wreaths, she went out and picked several hundred pounds of “tips”; or more specifically fir branches, this fall. She made over 3 dozen wreaths for family and friends; all decorated with the pine cones, mentioned earlier, and a big red bow.

Also this fall, I cut 3 cord of firewood from the river side of my property. I hauled the stove-length wood with my ATV/trailer combo to my house. Extended a few more ATV and tractor trails as well. This weekend I should have the last 2 cords of tree length wood cut. I am hauling it with the tractor from behind the vegetable garden to the driveway. Then it needs to be cut and split.

Duck hunting this year was a bust. Lots of rain late summer into fall had the river up much higher than normal. When this happens, the ducks seem to disappear. According to my theory, there is so much water in the woods and the ducks simply spread out to these small pockets of water until freeze-up. Oh well, ducks win.

Finally, I sold a few Christmas trees this year. Gave a few away and cut one for the house. A nice fat, full one.

Such are the “perks” of owning a chunk of Maine land.
