So the major summer project has been preparing the lower side barnyard for the wedding reception next June! This was full of brush...you could barely hack your way through. We cleared, piped, graded, weeded, seeded, and added straw. We also found an old pipe that seemed to have broken, hence the marsh lands down that way. We diverted some of the water back to the pond, and the yard is totally shaping up! I even learned how to pop open the straw bales like a real farmer!
We had found an old foundation from a house. We think it is an old farmhand's house. Imagine my surprise when I walked down and saw a huge hole in my supposed to be wedding yard. Hmm....but we drained and added gravel to prevent sink holes.
This yard is going to be beautiful! Bonus: When it is done, it is an official forever play yard. No worries about construction vehicles coming through! Maybe a swing set down here?
You all have been working so hard! It is looking beautiful.
