Wow, amazing place you guys have built. I was having a serious case of pond envy until I realized I am satisfied with what I recently dug especially since I never thought it would ever happen for us!
Great work you have done, it must be hard to go back to work after spending a weekend there.
I wish more of my family was healthy to enjoy our addition. My son is the only kid under 17 in the extended family, and my parents are both ill (my mom has ALS, horrible!). Treasure your time when all are healthy and never take it for granted! You are truly blessed.
Send some of that Osage our way! I heat primarily with wood and was happy to get about 50% hickory this year. Only problem with hickory is it is very high in ash content. I am constantly having to clean out the stove as compared to maple/cherry/ash.
