busy times at quackflat

This is some of the the gardens we have been working on and now as spring is here we see the beauty of Gods handy work.The onions and potatoes are in the ground and today I built another raised bed for the tomatoes and other things we will need this summer to keep our prices down and good down home cooked food.I have found the things I grow taste better and the best part is the fun of watching them grow until they are ready to eat.Well the next project will be working on the new chicken pen and getting some little chicks.I have always wanted to do this since I was living here because when I was a little lad we always had chickens and I enjoyed them so much.

Gold on the American

One of the things we have in the gold country is yes gold and we enjoy trying our best to find it where ever it hides.This is the north fork of the American just out of Colfax California and the real gold is the beautiful scenery and beautiful river winding through the canyon.I do not think theirs any thing that is as exciting as seeing gold in your pan .I have not been up on the river this year because I have been just way to busy keeping flat quack in shape.

Grettings from quack flat

I have been very busy the past few weeks but I enjoy keeping busy and even out of trouble at times.I found this fifth wheel trailer on craigslist a month back and have been busy taking it apart peace by peace.I needed a trailer for my tractor and mower and I put my crafty skills to work transforming this unwanted trailer into something I can use.With all the scrap I got off this trailer I have a nice trailer for my tractor and it has not cost me a dime.
