Last week Brittany, Blitzen and I went "camping" at the property. Despite the weather guessers forecast of a rainy trip it turned out to be a lovely sunny two days! It was so much awesome seeing the sunset in the evening and being there for it to rise again the next morning. I realized how tiny that trailer is for two people and a large dog. Definitely cramped quarters!
I cooked all our meals on the propane bbq! We had cheese burgers for dinner, eggs for breakfast and spaghetti-o's for lunch! All of which were great meals! We even got a bit of work done. There is a ton of fallen/cut branches laying around on a rocky hill, so we piled it up by the road to pick up with the tractor and trailer.
Guess what! We have two or three barn cats! And I saw them up close! A fuzzy grey cat and a black and white fuzzy cat! Those are some of last spring's kitten! I'm super happy that we have ratters!
Now it is rainy and stormy. And I'm going to be stuck in Citrus Heights for a few weeks. Oh well, I'll be up there permanently soon enough!

Good Food and Good Company
Been in the draft folder for two weeks...oops!
After a month of being stuck at home, I finally was able to go up to the property. Mom and Dad had been up a few times since the last time I went. The electricity and tractor have been long repaired since my last trip. There was cold soda waiting for me and Brittany and that made us very happy! We skipped breakfast and opted for some bbq burgers. Dad went to a local butcher and got some hamburger to bbq. It was local beef and it was amazing! It didn't even have cheese and the burgers were awesome.
As for the work we did. Brittany and I unloaded the utility trailer that was full of horse manure from our stop at SHA. Then the we fixed all the tarps on the ground to finished killing off all the grass so we can plant our orchards. After that the real fun began. Dad used his new torch to start the fire and we had a huge bon fire. We got three nice size piles burned and then cleaned up more from the bottom pasture.
