I cannot begin to say how sick I was of snow. Snow, rain, more snow, lots of wind, flooding, rain and more snow. Uck. I had the ultimate case of cabin fever there for a while. Something about this last storm, which was long and miserable, just about did me in. Maybe I don’t

It is amazing how well Buster Muster is doing. He still looks awful, but is his same-old happy, cheerful self. He lets me check him out whenever I go out there, and since I’m a big old worrywart, that’s a lot. The horn itself, or whatever the flesh that is left is called is

Last year we called it a year on November 23, because everything was done. This year I’m calling it on December 19th because it’s supposed to snow tonight. Lisa joked last year that we were afraid to stack anymore firewood because we always run out and we didn’t want to see the winter we’d get

You can tell it is fall and we are far behind on the firewood, because we went out after work again to pick at it. But we were sitting in the gazebo with a glass of wine, and started to feel guilty, so what the heck. Frank might as well use at least one tank

It’s sort of fitting how hard we worked today, with it being Labor Day, and all. We worked ourselves really hard, though, even though it wasn’t very pleasant weather wise, either. With the chipper broken from yesterday, it seemed logical to spend the day running the sawmill instead, and we really hoped that we wouldn’t

We spent all of today working on getting that downed tree out of the driveway, and it hasn’t been a good day for equipment, making it all more difficult. Frank’s Stihl chainsaw was broken yesterday by having the tree fall on it, and he bought a spare at Home Depot last night, but he really

We had quite the exciting and adventurous day out in the new garden today, probably more than we really wanted. There was one big oak tree that absolutely had to get cut before we could put in our first raised beds, but we’d left it to last because it really wanted to fall onto the

We were out sitting in the gazebo after work last night, enjoying a glass of wine, ready to veg the night away. We were both talking about how low on energy we were. In particular, I was griping about being sore because of how hard we’d worked all weekend. We were looking out at the

Today we mostly cut lumber from the trees that we’ve previously dropped. In particular, there was a huge oak log that Frank had dropped some time before the fire. We backed the truck up to it, pulled it out, and found that half of it had rotted away. Frank was convinced there was still some

We goofed off all day yesterday, spending our holiday and thus day off in a canoe on the Connecticut River rather than working in the garden. We sure had fun, though, and the garden seems to have survived without us. I noticed yesterday morning that I have the first blooms from my Galliardia. This is
