Working On Improving the Two Pools Area

Forest work

I had a little project to do up in the forest today with Skiddy so I drove on up to where it was parked and got it started up to warmed up a bit.rigs1

Two pools

Then I drove the short distance down to Two Pools. I wanted to build up the sides a bit as they were a bit low and I wanted to level and smooth off a place to camp by them for future park use.

Here’s what the pools looked like before I got started.pools2

Sides build up

I  moved dirt around them to  make the sides a bit higher.pools3

Camp spots

And moved some dirt around in this spot and leveled it off a bit.pools4

That should make it level enough for a camp spot or two for future use.spot5

The camp area is large enough and level enough for several camp spots now.flat9

Short walk

That done, I drove Skiddy back up the hill and parked it in a different spot so  had to walk the short distance down this road to where Hondo was parked.walk7

Hondo is parked just around the corner.road8

After that, I rode Hondo over to some neighbor’s thinking I might catch them home for a bull session, but no one was home.

Nice day.

Pickled Wild Plums and the Little Peeps

Friday July 11, 2025 Guerneville CA.

Garden

My brother Tom planted this garden in my yard mostly for stuff to sell at the farmer’s market.

He mentioned I should make some pickles.garden1

But there weren’t any cucumbers yet on the plants, only blooms.plants2

Pickled plums

But there were a lot of plums ripe in the yard, so I went out and picked enough to make a jar of refrigerator pickled plums. They should be ready in about a week.plums

The chickens were out grazing in the yard.hens4

But not these ones, yet, just too little for that.pepers6

They’ll be out there soon enough as long as i  keep them safe for now.

Nice day.
