The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 30 is “discovery” (suggested by @matthewlang). I noticed the filler valve for the small pond was running non-stop, so likely leaking by overflowing the liner. Looking under a tree, I made a discovery, and fixed it. 📷 #mbaug
The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 26 is “relentless” (suggested by @poetalegre). I can’t think of anything more relentless around the homestead than bamboo. I recently cut this grove to the ground, and it keeps on sprouting new stalks. 📷 #mbaug
The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 20 is “change” (suggested by @mitch), so I thought I’d combine that and Throwback Thursday to look at some changes in the homestead over the past seven years — 2013 vs 2020. 📷 #mbaug #ThrowbackThursday
The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 14 is “among” (suggested by ronguest). At the back of our pond is an old defunct birdhouse slowly getting subsumed amongst the ivy. 📷 #mbaug
The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 6 is “bisect” (suggested by @cdevroe). Our path from the chicken coops bisects to the veggie garden and the driveway. 📷 #mbaug
In 2004 when we lived in a townhouse, our backyard was tiny. But we made the most of the space, with some nice landscaping, a small pond, and a bench from which to watch the fish. #ThrowbackThursday
Micro.blog is doing a photo challenge for August. The word for today is “up” (suggested by @LJPUK). Today I trimmed a bunch of branches; here I’m looking up at a sagging branch of the big tree by the chicken coops. 📷 #mbaug
On the homestead blog: the thrilling conclusion of our project to convert our fountain into a garden. 🌱
Back in 2004 when we lived in a townhouse, we only had a tiny backyard. Since I always want a pond, I added a small one, and other landscaping. #ThrowbackThursday
