Today we got a whole bunch of the yard cleaned up, scrap wood burned and out of the way, and the straw bale house for the sheep is no longer needed to William and Meghan (with a little help from Kate) got them all moved down beside the compost pile. We located our humanure and regular compost piles as far away from the house as practical and far enough away to keep down any unpleasant odours but we shouldn't be getting any anyways.
The bugs have gotten pretty bad. I think they all hatched at once hungry and desperate so no matter how much I spray on insect repellent, I'm still getting bitten. It's very annoying! Reminds me of a song you might like about the black fly.
Anyways I'm pooped. I'll write tomorrow hopefully.

It looks like you need a million tree swallow houses so that you can have a million tree swallows for those million bugs.
