I've posted several times over the past few months about how quickly the last year has disappeared. Sitting the the comfort of my home office, even though it is a bit cluttered, it is hard to imagine a full year has passed.

One year ago we were in the midst of unpacking. When we left Colorado it seemed we had gotten rid of a lot of unneeded things before the trip. When we started unpacking it became clear quickly that more pruning was necessary. We've done quite a bit over the past year and still have more to do. On the home front, things are looking much better than they did.

A couple of dozen more trees are getting their foothold and starting to really take off. The back yard has lawn in it and most of the property is covered by drip irrigation. The garden is doing quite well and the new round-pen sits in place of the junk pile that was once. Plenty of projects remain but it is nice to look back every once in a while and see just how far we've come.
