Windbreak to the North

Posted on July 26, 2016 by rebeccatreeseed

Posted on July 22, 2016 by rebeccatreeseed

Rabbit Hutch Access

Posted on July 17, 2016 by rebeccatreeseed

I am creeping forward on my alternate access to the Rabbit Hutch. Still rough but less likely to fall. The path skirts trees on the right, and drops into a gravel pile and rock pile on the left. Maybe 4 … Continue reading →

Rabbit Hutch Project

Rabbit Hutch

Posted on July 11, 2016 by rebeccatreeseed
