32 going to 55. Went outside at 5am to see the snow flurries the weatherman was talking about on TV. Snow is unusual here in November.
Buppies, prayers said. Smart grandmother.
Sorry to read about your cat, BEF.
Thomas, hope you're doing better.
Yesterday cut firewood for the first time this season...maybe overdid the first time back...sore and stiff. I was working on a big tuliptree (yellow poplar) growing by the creek that a big storm blew over last winter. most of it fell on the other side on what is an island of soft sandy/silty fill created by an old beaver dam...but is has been so dry that it is firm walking...unlike Kyle's wet stuff.
I figured out a way to get the biggest rounds back over the creek where my tractor was parked...I cut a couple of old dead cedars into 4 poles long enough to span the creek and made a bridge to roll them across. Fortunately, the island side is about a foot higher than the tractor side, where the "bridge" ended on a sand bar, so could just place them and let 'em roll. Still have to figure how to get the lower trunk, since it is lying angled over the creek.
Now, fingers crossed that my splitter will be easier to wake up...start in fewer pulls than in previous years.
