Harvest Time, Bricks and Snow

The garden is nearly empty after Mom and I had a harvest day last week. (Plus Mom harvested the carrots a different day.)

Potatoes were first priority, and I had fun capturing the process, which you can watch in less than one minute HERE.


Meanwhile Dad had his hands full of cement work that week...


He did a meticulous job replacing the front patio! At first the plan was only to replace a few broken and worn bricks, but there was no getting those bricks out without all their neighbors coming too. 

At least that made it easy to replace the buffalo board all around the door which turned out to be moldy - blowing strong mold smell into the entry on windy days once the siding was removed.


The cats appreciated blankets over the newest cement the nights of our first snows!

You can see you amazingly the new insulation works on the photo above! The line where the snow suddenly get thinner before the cupola is where the house ends and garage begins. Snow melted slower over the house than un-insulated garage!
