| Hooking up controller for solar panel! |
 |
We have solar!!
We still need another panel and some better batteries but it's a start and now Casey knows how to hook it up so adding to the system shouldn't be hard. Eventually we plan to get the solar panel on top of the covered patio. |

So remember at the start of this journey when I found that amazing 1880s trundle bed/couch...while it broke... not once but like three times but Ender proceeded to eat the cushions I made for it. So in the end we ended up with two comfy chairs from ikea and a trundle bed out back. I wanted to re-use the wood and made a table! |

| I found these awesome little lanterns at Target and Casey totally fulfilled my vision and created a hanging piece to put them on above my table! |
I still need to get the type of chairs I want for the table or possibly make benches using the old legs from the bed we shall see!
There are a few other projects in the making as well; I was able to score a huge pile of old wooden framed single pane windows and plan to FINALLY create the shower house!
In addition, the pallet hoop house is almost complete and the planting shall begin here in the next week or two so stay tuned for that as well.
Oh...baby lambs..cows...goats..oh my!
Again, thank you for following along and encouraging our growth on the homestead!
