No snow here, no ice here, and pretty much no mud cause its all sand...

Quicksand? . . . .

Nope, just like beach sand..

Quicksand? . . . .

Now actually thinking back, when I first got this place and before I had explored all of it i was driving one of my fields and in an instant my front end was down in the ground to the axels! I had located one of my many springs, I got lucky and got it out with the loader but it was a little exciting for a bit! So almost quicksand I guess.

Dogs and I were walking through one of the pastures when out of the sky falls a big stick. What to my wondering eyes do I see above?

Bald eagle. Must have lost its grip when nest building. Eagle droppings.

just to share my firewood handling practice.

When cutting & splitting firewood, I put wood in such crates. Base is EUR pallet - 1.2 X 0.8 m. Grill is 1 m high
those boxes I leave at my "rancho". They can be stored on top each other. Trick is not to put them tight together side by side, but leave gaps for air circulating. And not in barn but just under shed - again for better air circulation.
Wood has to be cut before "juice time". Better be split before it's become warm
In such crates wood is drying very good, already at end of summer on portable moisture probe I am reading 12 ... 15 %
At autumn those boxes I load on my trailer and drive them to my home. For heating season I need 8 .. 10 of such crates
Boiler is in garage, I can drive in there and put that crate directly on side of boiler.
So I touch wood with my hands only to put wood in crate and then - in boiler.

When I first looked at that pic the ground looked like shingles, thought you were driving on a roof!

I saw the railing with the fog behind it & thought.. How does this guy get to drive his tractor and wood crates over a public walkway bridge?

A hickory I’ve been working on for firewood. Even with my hydraulic splitter some of it so stringy it drives me nuts.

Those pavement bricks are very common here and in EU in general.
Like version I have - a bit cheaper concrete blocks or cobblestone, which are a bit pricier. Rich communes can afford stones, not like poor individuals

I have noticed, that in US concrete driveways are more common.
