Chênedouit .....

A frosty morning at Chênedouit....

Here's the plot of land we just bought. 

Our neighbor's old vegetable garden. 2,475 sq feet. 

Looking full of weeds you might say? 

Well, just you wait and see 'till I get it all cleaned up and looking good. 

Before Summer....

I cut out some of the dead bushes in back of the dying quince tree on the right of the pic...

eventually I'd like to cut in some stairs that go to the other side for easier access. 

Here's the other side (house side) of the bushes...

Where I had my veggie garden in the past. 

Here are some shots of our back field during 

my recent , digging, pulling, cutting, burning week. 

Before.... 

too bad I don't have any shots of all the hand tearing thorny branches 

that were up to the roof along the granite boulders along side of the dépendance.  

And after.... 

all cleaned up, no more wire or blackberry thorns. 

Two good afternoon's worth of work. 

I'm very much in love with my new little granite wall between the dependence and the existing wall. 

I know, just 1 meter of wall, but still.....

we'll see if it's still standing after the windy weekend that we've had:)
