We moved a trailer in to store garden supplies and equipment.

The ground was frozen and the hylift came in mighty handy.

The temperature hung around 18-20 degrees all day, but we had some wonderful help who stuck with us through the cold.

Looking from the trailer and the garden toward the site for the storage shed.

If you look closely, you can see another one of our faithful helpers.

Listening attentively is an artform.

We didn't spend all our time sitting - see the pile of brush and all the cleared land around us - we (and the hylift) did that.

Now, 3 weeks later...

John moving the trees out of the way.

All of this was trees and brush. Making way for a pond and equipment. (Hopefully not the equipment in the pond.)

Somewhere in there is a potential road to the top of the ridge - and home.

If you look close, you can see a very contented young man behind the wheel.
