Wild strawberries are such a treat. I grew up in WA in the woods. During the summer we would go in the woods and get huge mugs full of berries nearly every day. We’d put them in hotcakes or muffins or as a berry compote to put on things for a simple treat. You may not have checked every item off your list but you got a lot done so good job. Thanks for posting

Hi I'm lovin' the firepit. Cannot wait 'til it is done. Your art is impressive. You could give us tutorials as you paint and draw. Hopefully without making it just another job you 'have' to do. Not fun then. Picking strawberries in the ditch brought back a lot of memories from say 60 years ago. Tasty with fresh cream from the neighbours cows! Of course, the mosquitoes bring back the itchy memories, too. The hungry pests. Keep up the good work, Mick. We are rooting for you.

Love a tidy cabin and yard. If you get the opportunity you might pick up a half dozen domesticated Strawberry plants. They're perennials and will do well over the winter. I grew strawberries in northeren Minnesota. Best part is they are self proliferating. You can plant the runners each year and greatly increase the output.

When at the gravel pit, fill your scooper before leaving. Thus a full big tote and scooper when you get home. It adds up over time. Do you have a dump that people discard unwanted items? With luck, maybe find an old red wagon or broke wheelbarrow or anything with wheels you could rehab. Wheelbarrow would be gold.

I think one of the coolest paintings was one someone painted of your mom with her red coat on and her and Maisy walking on the frozen lake with the white snow and beautiful orange sunrise. So much beauty to capture there that I think people would love if you wanted to share your paintings.

Also start collecting lumber scraps, I'll explain later. Firewood should be a super-super high priority right now. Probably need 150 days + worth in AK. Are there any other berries you can collect and preserve?

🎉Thank you for another great update! We have found using bags from dog food and feed is a great way to haul woodchips, dirt, and gravel from the pit. Friends and family save them for us. We only fill each one to what we can carry up our steep hill. That way we only have to scoop it once. It also allows for us to put bags on the floor boards and distribute the weight more evenly. I busted a back spring by putting too much weight in the back behind the tires. In the late fall we fill the bags with kindling and bark for quick morning fires and firestarter. It cuts down on the mess. The bags also help keep the wood dry. I am 56 and finally come to realize that there will always be a "to do" list. I am learning to schedule more enjoyable things to the list.
