#HandWork

Our alpine wildflower meadow at 1700 m is in full bloom.
Much of this steep terrain can’t be reached by tractor or mower so maintaining it still requires plenty of manual work. A slow, careful approach that rewards both biodiversity and resilience.

A vibrant alpine meadow stretches across a gently sloping hillside, covered in a rich tapestry of wildflowers in white, yellow, purple, and blue hues. The meadow is surrounded by forested mountain slopes, with dense spruce and pine trees rising on both sides. In the distance, a valley opens up between the mountains under a clear blue sky with scattered clouds. A small house is faintly visible near the horizon. The landscape conveys a serene, high-altitude summer setting, emphasizing biodiversity and natural beauty.

Hay making in progress. Hay cleared and stored in the barn.
Our two small gray cattles are grazing on a piece of pasture below a deciduous forest. On the left some remaining grass on our meadow orchard with older and newly planted fruit tress.

Sunny rural landscape with two small grey cattle calves grazing on a sloped pasture below a dense mixed deciduous and coniferous forest. The foreground shows mown grass in neat rows from the first hay cut, along with fruit trees, a small wooden shed, and a fenced animal pen. Dappled light and long shadows from the forest edge create a peaceful summer atmosphere in the alpine meadow

Hay making. Small part finished. Hay cleared and stored in the barn.
Didn't have time to take photos of the loading and storing process. We still load most of the hay onto the tractor and haystack by hand.

Mountain meadow landscape with freshly cut and cleared off hay. The foreground shows green fruit trees and garden plants. Mid-ground features wide, gently sloping fields with neat rows of cut grass, contrasting with uncut areas of taller grass. A blue tarp and a small pile of dung are visible near the center. In the background, dense forest and higher mountain slopes lead the eye toward distant, snow-covered alpine peaks under a clear blue sky.

Hay making in progress. Hay turned ('gewendet') by hand.
Over the last few years we have fertilised with well-rotted manure (almost compost quality). The result is very fine grasses and excellent hay quality.

Tailor Talk-
All sleeves should come like this.
Sleeves can be shortened or Lengthen.
Then functional Button Holes can be added by hand or machine or just the buttons. It just makes sense.

24 September: After long consideration I decided to #demolish big parts of the old #oven. A repair seemed too complicated, too time-consuming and the oven was generally in too poor a condition.
