Mrs. Weber wanted me to swap out the compost bed for a new raised bed. Luckily, I had some new pallet skids on hand…

Here’s another way to breakdown skid pallets. A reminder that if you’re going to use the wood to make raised beds, only use heat treated pallets that haven’t been exposed to toxic materials.

This one sat for a long time. There was something about it I just didn’t like, but eventually, I needed to get it done so I could move on. In the end, it turned out okay. This piece will appear in the sequel to my fantasy novel, “The New Apprentice,” which you can check out here:

First sap run was pretty productive with only three trees tapped. Looking forward to a second run!

This tree hasn’t been pruned in years and years. I don’t like pruning more than a quarter of the big limbs, but something had to be done. We will see how it goes this spring.
