| Neighbors and friends, PJ and Zoe, voluntarily helped us load, haul and unload countless truck and trailer loads of wood and debris from the house downtown after we had a tree trimmer come out and do several thousand dollars worth of tree trimming and felling there. Here's a small portion of what we brought home. No need to go looking for firewood for the next few years. |

| We also made some progress on the cabin root cellar addition, hoping to have it ready for the fall harvest. |
 |
| And, Linc excavated up the hillside to run a buried pipe from the new cisterns that we placed last year, and tied it all into the original cistern, giving us four times the water storage capacity that we had before, enough to get us through an entire winter. |
 |
| It's times like these that I'm thankful we have a backhoe, even if it's old and breaks down frequently. The excavation, piping, backfilling, probably took a total of six hours over the course of a couple afternoons, forcing me to rethink my previous Luddite leanings. |
