DIRT

Little Frog Ranch is still coming along!  Chris took a break from the never-ending fence project to extend the driveway to the back of the property.  The front will be for the animals, but the back will be our home.  There is already a fence separating the two areas. 

This land originally had a railroad line running through it.  While the railroad is long gone, one previous owner decided to use that space to install crawfish ponds, now dried up.  We have decided to keep 2 of those ponds/empty ditches for future use, maybe even for Koi fish, who knows!  But in order to get to the back of the property easily from the entrance, we needed to fill in the last old crawfish pond and extend the driveway.  (picture cropped to show crawfish ponds)

The skidsteer was great to move the dirt to fill in the last crawfish pond/ditch.  We are having gravel delivered next week and this area will be evened out and a layer of gravel installed.  

 Chris enjoyed playing with the skidsteer again and had fun getting rid of a dead tree that was in the way too.

Next up we're planning for the cabin! The pieces of wood on the ground are marking the area, approx 12x32, tucked in the back right corner of the property behind the pond area, but far enough away to not have to worry about any flooding.  

 This is my favorite part of Little Frog Ranch.  It really is such a peaceful place.  The frogs are still hibernating, but we'll hear them again in spring.  I would love to install a deck so we can sit and enjoy the beauty and peace.
