I cried today... This is Brooke's 'left ventricle'. I knew I had to keep digging.

I always get so many side projects done on the day of rest... The first image is the #hickorynuts I stole from the #squirrels. I believe they're all #shellbarkhickory. The second is a… https://t.co/r5dzQXBoA7

I took a break from digging. The peace treaty with the #squirrels might be over.... I went down to check the #pecantree. Shells everywhere!!!! This means war! I know where they hide their… https://t.co/wwyOLDwKq3

I met a new friend while digging today. I bet he won't throw hickory's at the roof 😉

Look at all the #spiders guarding the egg sacks. If you look close, you can see lots of the white sacks dangling back in. I've used these as a guide to know how much further I can remove… https://t.co/swq819d0sZ

My baby girl is flowing good after a night of hard rain. We'll see how much gumption I have today, and how much further I can go.

My strength was back up today, so I spent a little time with Brooke, my beautiful #mountainspring. The first image is the last #flatrock I pulled out. The second is the right channel that… https://t.co/hN73rslpeX

I found some Jack 'o Lantern aka Omphalotus olearius, in the #woods yesterday while I was #mushroomhunting. I brought them back to the house to confirm they aren't #chanterelles with a… https://t.co/0jS12iT7mU

[The Homesteading Hick @HomesteadHick]

Given the #copperhead situation, I always walk in the #woods with a walking stick that has a short 'y' at the end. I was taught to do this in case I come upon a #snake. Since I've seen so… https://t.co/jNwBHkhlOt

The dog and I "got lost" about a half mile into the woods today. I could hear it about 1/4 of a mile away. #curiositykilledthecat but we made it home. Would it look suspicious if I "lose… https://t.co/FwKWp9Emsc
