Final phase of the renovation is here, the addition of a chimney and the creation of the hearth and rock walls inside. We love the look.

On a late afternoon walk we came into this clearing and just on the other side of that scrub brush a coyote was howling and barking like crazy. As you can see Ace came back and hid behind me…so much for protecting the master.

Patty made the traditional corned beef & cabbage with all of the sides and we brought it up to Ashburn to share with Grammy and Beepa. Was great to see them, and I think they enjoyed it.

The farmer is “sweetening” up the fields in preparation for the spring planting.

Nothing like a hike up Old Rag mountain to focus the mind! Haven’t done it in probably 4 years, but Patrick encouraged us and up we went. This was the first time for Patty, she was a little surprised when we got to the part where you have to pull yourself up through crevices and crawl through small openings. It was a great day to be outside with Patty and Patrick.

COVID note: We passed NUMEROUS crazy people that appeared to be wearing their mask full time in the middle of no where on the trail with no one anywhere near them. I find it sad that people believe it will help them or anyone else if no one is around! Hopefully years from now we can look back and laugh at that experience, and we did take pictures and film for our Tik tok and youtube channel, which by the way as a tip, now you can buy tik tok views that increase the credibility of your account and it will boost your videos for more views and followers, you can check our tiktok and check our hike and other adventures !
