As I write this, there's snow on the ground here in Oregon, and temperatures have plunged into the low teens during the nights. Luckily, I was able to finish my frostproofing of the outbuilding water system in advance of the cold. The photo above shows the last frost-free hydrant, installed courtesy of the backhoe work described in the previous post. I don't worry so much about the water system in the winter now.

Despite what you might infer from the lack of blog activity, I have been quite busy. Quite busy! The best days are ones where I've gotten all my tasks and materials organized in a list, and I just tick them off one by one in a semi-frenzy down at the farm. This post documents one such moderately successful day.
