I didn't get pictures before Daniel cut some tree's down but here is a "before" picture of our swing set and garden area.

(tall ant infested treee we had cut down)
(another scary tree that is now gone)
And AFTER! (we hired a guy to cut the scary trees and clear the land with his tractor, it saved us about 3 months of manual labor)

(garden area)
These are just "after the tree's and brush were cleared" pictures, it will still be a while until we have the finished product pictures with an actual swing set and garden.
Now Daniel has already started a rock wall along the edge for where the blueberry plants will be.
Ridge has been enjoying working outside with us. He has his own axe and loves chopping logs, stumps, ferns, and anything in his path. On drives home he'll say "mom this is the plan; we are going to get home, work outside, then have dinner." He takes after his Daddy.
Daniel originally built this shed for the dog but has now made it larger and turned it into our wood shed, and has it filled!
This is our orchard area that was a jungle of alder trees. We now have 8 fruit trees planted along the hill side and we hope someday it will be a grassy hill with nice large fruit trees.
I am so excited for all we(Daniel) has accomplished in the 4 month we have lived here, and I can't wait to see all the projects we'll get done by the end of the summer.
