Happy New Year from the Fixettwells!

Happy belated holidays and New Year!  Rather than our customary TL;DR update, we've elected to make a calendar (of the past!).  Luckily, whencanireusethiscalendar.com indicates that 2014 calendars will be usable again in 2025.  Also, we didn't fill in the dates.  Basically, we just made the back page of 2014's calendar with our top picture of each month--here it is!


By way of captions: we (re)built a hoophouse, cleared a bunch of invasive brush, planted mutant potatoes (and lots of other delights), installed a 2,500 square foot garden, explored our six ancient outbuildings, built a bottle tree and herb spiral, harvested over 980 lbs. of homegrown food, cut off five years of ponytail, enjoyed some well-earned rest, cleaned 50 years worth of dust out of the general store (and hosted a party in it!), and unofficially launched Green Springs Gifts by attending a holiday artisan fair.  Whew!

So far all we've done in 2015 is adopt this adorable puppy.  Welcome to the Fixettwell family, Starlet!


Things are pretty good here.  Can't wait to see what the rest of 2015 has in store for us!
