I finally got a phone that will connect to WiFi and boy, is it a learning curve for me. I can't find my last thread so I'm starting a new one.
I may be doing a lot swap soon and the contractor is now putting in water, electric, and septic on the new lot. I won't have to pay him for water and a driveway since I've already paid for those on my lot, but I will be getting electric and septic much sooner than I thought and I can pay him back for that.
My little garden is doing OK. I have cherry tomatoes and strawberries in 5 gal buckets. They're not happy, but looking good. Corn is doing well and I have 4 watermelons growing, tho I don't expect them to mature before it gets cold.
The deer are busy eating everything they can get their sharp little teeth into, so I finally got some wood and am putting a cage together.
I still haven't seen any bears, cougars, or raccoons yet, but I did have a family of quail visit - mom, dad, and 8 chicks. The hummingbird has given up on landing on my head and uses the tomato cages to sit on now.
Otherwise, aside from the few hot days we've had, things are going great. I haven't saved as much money as I hoped because ice for the cooler is running me about $100/month and my car has needed umpteen repairs. But I have enough to pay for electric outright now and I hope to have that on the new lot in a couple of months.
You guys all take care. I can't wait to be back cooking for myself again and back here posting.
