I admit it. We’re just screwin’ around this morning at the sawmill.

Mom wants to build a dining table. So the crew is busy getting some cherry wood ready. They’re sealing end grain for the kiln. It’s a job that requires a smock…if you’re of a certain age and a certain proclivity.

Cherry Tree Stumps

We harvested some cherry trees in the woodlands today and created some stumps good for viewing nature. Ya know, looking for Bigfoot…

Tone Drums

Death of a pine tree

A pine tree that we planted as a sprig grew up, died, and keeled over onto our power lines. The question now is…what does it become next?

Rowing Lessons

No school this afternoon…unless you count Gramie’s woodlands rowing school.

Elderly Basswood

100+ year-old Basswood tree gave it up along the woodlands trail this week…kicked up an impressive root ball!

Bike day!

It’s bike to work day tomorrow! So I made some bike stands in the sawmill. Ya know, for the staff and myself.

Note – empty growler already strapped in for the next refill ride to the Grotto.

New Game…

At the woodlands, we’ve invented a hybrid new game. It combines CornHole and Flickin Chicken! Patent pending…

Tree Time again

It was a hard workin’ morning of tree planting at the woodlands. Afterwards…the reward: snacks and ‘Shawn the Sheep!’
