Ok so strictly speaking this isn’t really consistent with the theme of my website BUT deciding to add a stock tank pool to our property IS about thinking creatively about the energy of our household so I think it still works!
Stock tank ready for set-up!
More to come!
With the Covid-19 shutdown has come the cancellation of most of our usual summer activities. Some summers we are only home a week or two! So this summer we are looking at three months of being home. We did a handful of things to make this more fun. First, my husband built me some raised garden beds and we planted seeds. The kids are have helped with a bit of the weeding, and we all think the tiny plants peeking up are adorable.
Second, we grabbed one of the few remaining spots at a CSA. Since we are usually away so much, we haven’t done one in years! This CSA includes weekly veggies and monthly chicken shares. The kids will help us drive out to pick up the shares each week.
Finally, after lots of consideration and online research, we purchased a stock tank and plan to convert it into a swimming pool! Well, that may be an overstatement. We are turning it into a wading pool. I’m not sure you can really swim in a pool that is 8 feet around and 2 feet deep. If you haven’t heard of a stock tank pool, check out this recent article.
And check back soon for more blog posts about the development of the pool!
With love,
Emelie
