Today we made more progress on Henrietta's home. I have attached a wheelbarrow tire on one end and a handle on the other. The tire is hinged so when not in use the pen sits flat on the ground. I will need to put better hinges on it, because it's a little flimsier than I would like. We also covered the remainder of the roof with clear plastic panels, so if it does decide to rain again, she won't be in a quagmire. While we were doing that, she was in with the fruit trees doing weed and bug control.
Ron's health is continuing to improve slowly, though he's got mild anemia at the moment. I think his allergies are a bit kicked up too with the pollen and dust.
We have been able to enjoy lots of strawberries and peas from the garden recently.
The island is on "total shut down" due to dry conditions now. Which means no campfires, mowing, or chainsaws. Nylon string trimmers can only be used before 1pm each day. Fortunately, the chop saw, circular saw, and brad nailer are OK to use. I still need to get the floor finished and we have another "new to us" door to install.
