It's all happening in Edgefield.

The town was packed the past two days with locals trying to meet 50 cent (he is a rapper).

He is here making a TV show about his ancestors which apparently lived here at some point.

The chickens have a new run which we will put them in if we go out for any length of time

.

Finished restoring and rewiring the lights in the Lounge and the Dinning room.

This week in pictures.

Chicken shed and garden.

Made a rustic door for the chicken shed out of some old wood from the garage and the second raised bed is nearly ready for planting up.

Fledging Hawks

The food supply for the hawks must have been good to raise three chicks,lets hope they don't try and eat the chickens.

Hawks trying out their wings.

Fishing at Geoff and Tammy's House Sunday night. Turtles doing the funky chicken.

Forest clearings.

New things flowering this week,honeysuckle and a tree I've not identified yet.

Spent the day clearing out some more garden.Pushing some path in so I can get to the trees which need the vines cutting off.

Rain Harvesting.

I bought six intermediate bulk containers from a polyester recycling company in Trenton. They hold a 1000 liters or 275 gallons and will save us from watering with treated water.

Today a storm is moving through so the containers are filling nicely.

I took my first outside shower today,stood on a pallet under the rain running of the roof it was perfect.

The chicks are growing fast and have moved into the front screened porch so they can run around to find spiders,ticks and ants to eat.
