Here are a couple of pics to show my progress on the building. I’ll be there all day tomorrow.

Wednesday Morning Ramblings
If it stops raining, I think I’m gonna run to the building this afternoon and get a little work done. There is still a lot of brush to clean up along the back, and the roof and gutter still need cleaning. I had planned on getting those complete last Saturday, but when the rains came in that day, I had to stop short. Obviously, if it’s still raining this afternoon, I won’t able to get anything done today, but hopefully, the weather will clear up, and I can get two to three good hours of work put in.
I would like to start repairing the front wall this weekend. Now that the back wall isn’t flooding like before, the front wall is the priority for being able to use the building. The exterior seems to be in pretty good shape, but the interior needs to be completely redone. We need both insulation and new walls, and until that wall is fixed, it’s not really feasible to install the growing unit. The unit involves a lot of sensitive equipment, and we can’t risk damage to anything because we didn’t take the time to properly repair the building.
Tuesday Afternoon Ramblings
For five months straight, the views on this blog have risen steadily, so thank you to everyone who has been reading my silly ramblings and keeping up with our progress on the farm. Hopefully, you find something entertaining and inspiring in this blog that gets you through your day a little more easily. As long as there is an audience for this site, I’ll keep writing it for as long as I can.
For today’s entry, please allow me a moment to get a little philosophical, but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how so many of us live our lives wishing we were at a different point. I’m just as guilty as anyone, so please don’t take that as a judgment about any individual. We go through our lives wishing we were older or younger or richer or better looking, yet not realizing that this moment in our lives right now is as good or bad as we allow it to be. Attitude really is everything, and if I focus on the good and the positive, I physically feel better. However, if I lament the loss of my youth, I feel physically bad.
My challenge to all of my readers is to stop looking at what you don’t have or where you wish you were and start loving who you are today, right now. Of course, I’ll participate in this challenge as well, and sometime down the road, I’ll write a follow up to this post asking each of you to share what you’ve experienced by doing this. Hopefully, we can all find a little more happiness, a little more peace of mind, and perhaps even a little more success from our positivity.
There’s no doubt that we’re entering into a strange, dark period in American history. We all feel it, like an unspoken anxiety hanging in the air. However, that doesn’t mean we have to succumb to the darkness. We as individuals can still live our lives to the best of our abilities and not allow the darkness to drag us under. We can still love ourselves as individuals and make something good of our lives.
