Happy New Year to all!!!!!

We were up early this morning getting ready for some work. Darius got the roast in the oven, (it was marinating all night long), then we headed out to build 2 more walls on the pump house. We did that and I prepped a bed on the front of the house for some bulbs.

You don't realize how much land(dirt) there is in 5 acres until you take a shovel and rake to it.

After we moved the generator away from the end of the trailer, I realized there was a dip in the ground. Can't have a river of water running under there to compromise the footing, so we started hauling wheelbarrows of dirt to raise that level. At the same time, we raked wood debris from the future veggie garden area. Man, that's a whole lot of raking and we did not even finish that.

We were certainly ready for dinner when we were done. We had roast pork, marinated in Mojo, blackeyed peas, steamed broccolli and sweet cornbread. Oh yes and a lovely bottle of Reisling Kabinett wine. We are now ready for the new year.

I thought about the New Years Day dinner and realized I haven't had the proper meal in several years of New Years. If I was a superstitious person, I might think, all that former bad luck was my own fault.

We are on the right track now.....heehee.
