We have so many trails and shortcuts in the woodlands now we decided to name ‘em up! Twelve signs to stake in. We have help… […] For us, this was like the Panama Canal, Alaskan Railroad, and the Grand Coulee Dam projects combined. But, we got through it. We have a new transition from the woodlands pond to the creek, fancy new culverts, underground overflow tubes, everything! We’re ready to test it with the next hundred-year rain. It’s overdue, been several […] The resident chef created homemade pasties on this rainy fall day. She’s channeling my UP familial heritage and her UK familial heritage at the same time… Yum! We’ve been sawing our way through the pandemic. We’re stockpiling rough lumber to be trimmed in the spring. There may be a custom out-building project at White Tail next year. We’ll be ready. We were in the sawmill measuring Henry for his nine-and-a-half birthday and noticed an interesting flitch from a log we sawed yesterday. Henry thought he could turn it into a fun character. He’s working on it and it’s coming along wonderfully. This is good. […] With the stirring in of the yeast, the 2020 vintage is underway. It’ll be an unforgettable year; we’re pretty sure of that. He’s power sweeping the piazza while listening to Queen. I believe I’m seeing a bit of dancing too… I cannot tell a lie; the wind chopped down that cherry tree. And Sharon skidded it into the mill. That’s the truth too. Canted off, it’s a thing of beauty and the whole sawmill smells great. I’m trying to teach the scouts that you don’t always need to build a log cabin of kindling wood, fill it with shavings, and strike a flint to get a spark and light the campfire. You can take an old Christmas tree, dead and dried 5 years and light it up with a propane flame […] I guess(?) you could call this fishing – tossing out pond chow and trying to net the fish… |
