Our property has a lot of…. stuff, laying around.
Piles and piles everywhere
mostly construction debre
A lot of unusable wood and ruined plywood, 2×4’s and posts, brick, vinyl, beer bottles, milk crates, misc metal parts, rock, and garbage.
And it is all over, covering much of the property. 
As part of the cleanup effort we have been spending our evenings gathering up wood pieces and stacking them.
The slaves kids bring the boards and misc pieces to Dadzoo, who cuts them into 16 inch lengths and then they are stacked, or if they are smaller than 16 inches, they go into a scrap bin.
Stacked just so, they will be used in the wood stove this winter, and the smaller pieces in the fire-pit outside.
(this is just the very start, we have a lot more where this all came from)
While it is frustrating to see such a beautiful place be mistreated and used as a garbage dump, we can help but see the blessing in free firewood. 
(Lou found this stick while picking up boards and played Gandalf the whole evening, jumping in front of her, very annoyed, sisters saying “You shall not pass!”) 
These are pictures of parts of the unspoiled pasture, I never knew there were so many different grasses here in the high desert, or so many shades of green.
So lovely. 
I love how hard you guys work. I just imagine how awesome it will be when it’s all cleaned up! I say “imagine” but someday soon it will be “see” because I’ll come visit it myself!
I remember growing up with a field behind our house. My brother and I had a lot of fun finding things to play with. We once found a t.v., carried it home, and told our mom we were going to fix it. She let us take it apart and eventually we ended up throwing it away. We had many days of fun with that t.v. By the way I love your garden:)
