Brush Hogged
I believe I forgot to mention that Larry got the place brush hogged late October or early November. It looks nice. I also had the propane tank filled and got the heaters lite.
Eagles
Earlier than usual, but Sally saw two overhead Saturday. She also saw some on her drive out.
Road Work
I filled my buckets with mud and gravel Friday, loaded and spread it up the road Saturday, then got another load and spread it down the road. I'm probably done with this dirty task for the season.Garden
We were able to pick enough bock chow and chard for a stir fry. Sally found a few more butternut squashes to keep, and I pulled up all the plants. I started in on the spinach, which looked scorched on the top from the frosts we'd had, and noticed nice large green leaves on the lower protected parts of the plants. So I picked a huge bowl full cutting the tops and bottoms off, rinsed it in salt water, and then picked the leaves. (We had a feta and mushroom quiche with it.)
Split Wood
Working on Friday and Saturday, I got through the load I had gotten two weeks earlier. Too bad much of it is to big for my stove -- I've got to learn to measure before I cut. I also split all but one piece of the short oak I had picked up off the shortcut earlier in the year. That one piece of red oak I'm leaving for Amanda to enjoy.Sharpen McCulloch
Got it ready for another outing, including filling the depth gauges. The teeth on this chain are about gone, so I'll need to dig though my supply for another soon.
