A detail of the carpentry used to erect the cabin. Notice the axe marks left on the on the logs in the middle 1800s.
I started to keep a hydroponics log using a gift from my dear Mother-in-law to keep track of important dates such as when I last changed the nutrient solution and when I planted certain seeds. I hope that it will help me learn from my mistakes by seeing exactly what I did every step of the way. And, believe me, I've made plenty of mistakes. I still have a lot to learn.

I went to a nice log cabin potluck the other night. it's amazing a place like this exists so close to town here in SE Michigan. My imagination immediately took me away to northwoods lodges, summer camps, my Alberta cousin's rocky mountain cabin...
I gather it gets a little drafty here however.

Sawing Chestnut logs in the north Georgia mountains near Clayton. Date unknown.
In the 1880’s, railroads began penetrating the North Georgia Mountains making timber easier to access. Large landowners built these railroads. These companies bought much of this mountain land for as little as $1.00 per acre. Their goal was to cut the timber, sell the land, and move on to another location. They logged the land for lumber and for bark of chestnut, chestnut oak and hemlock trees. Tanic acid was extracted from the bark, which was used in tanning leather. This was big industry in those days as almost every household item was leather or involved leather in its use.
Wildfire also took a toll. Sparks from wood burning trains and skidders ignited thousands of acres. Farmers lost control of fires they set to clear land, to rid the woods of insects and snakes and to improve forage for cattle and swine which roamed the woods.
This loss of forest resources was about to change. Congress passed the Weeks Law authorizing land purchases from willing sellers to protect the headwaters of navigable streams and insure a continuous supply of timber.
The Forest Service purchased 31,000 acres in Fannin, Gilmer, Lumpkin and Union Counties from the Gennett family in 1911 for $7.00 per acre. Thus, began the role of stewardship on lands that would become the Chattahoochee National Forest.

A friend who's handy with a chain-saw helped me swipe these beech logs from a pile I know to be home to wild oyster mushrooms. They now sit in the corner of the allotment.
If they don't produce anything this year, I'm going to spore them
La citadelle de Saladin est une imposante forteresse, construite par Saladin, qui domine Le Caire.
Sur l’unique hauteur de la ville, le sultan Salah ad-Din (Saladin), fondateur de la dynastie ayyoubide, fit construire cette forteresse entre 1176 et 1183 par des croisés capturés en Palestine, d’où son allure de château fort.
Sa silhouette est dominée par les coupoles et les minarets de la mosquée en albâtre de Mohamed Ali, de style turque, achevée en 1857.
La citadelle offre une admirable vue panoramique sur le Caire et la cité des morts, cimetière des sultans mamelouks aujourd’hui habités par des sans logis. Au pied de la citadelle, se trouve la mosquée du sultan Hassan, un des plus beaux édifices d’époque mamelouk du XIVe siècle.
Après la mort de Saladin, son neveu, Al-Kamil, a renforcé la Citadelle en agrandissant plusieurs des tours, en particulier la tour Al-Haddad (la tour du forgeron) et la tour Ramlab (tour de sable), les rendant trois fois plus grandes. Ces deux tours contrôlaient le passage étroit entre la Citadelle et les collines de Muqattam. Al-Kamil a également établi un certain nombre de grandes tours autour du périmètre des murs, dont trois peuvent encore être vues du parking de la Citadelle. Ces tours massives étaient carrées, hautes de 25 mètres et large de 30. En 1218, à la mort de son père, Al-Kamil, devenu Sultan, a transféré sa résidence à la Citadelle où il a construit son palais dans le quartier sud. Jusqu'à la construction du palais d'Abedin au milieu du XIXe siècle, c'était le siège du gouvernement de l'Égypte.
