It has been quiet at the Men's Shelter due to the scheduling of trades people. I took the opportunity to expand the lower pasture some more. We are in a record situation so I thought I would take advantage of it. This is the latest EVER that we have not had snow on the ground! The last record was Nov. 6, 1933. We are past the sixth and no snow is forecast until the 11th .
All this field was heavily treed and full of brush and dead falls 3 years ago. It's amazing what you can do, one tree at a time. Maybe I should re-name the Acreage and call it "The Gobi Desert of the North". Way up on the horizon, you can see Tucker still trying to figure if there is anything edible down here.
There are going to be 8 good bonfires once the snow does come!
at least you're healthy enough to blog about it, so i'm assuming you're safe!
ReplyDeleteWhew! You have been working hard this past week.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of firewood! Someone's gonna keep warm this winter!
ReplyDeleteAl Gore must have put a global warming curse on The Acreage.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you won't get any snow this year until you pay a snow tax to Mr. Gore. Or perhaps you wouldn't mind a year without snow? Then you will need to pay an extended summer tax. Either way big Al's gotcha!
Don't forger the chocolate, marshmallows and Graham crackers! After all the calories you have burned, you can have a few smores. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been super warm here in Ontario - it's been a little alarming actually! Glad you were able to get a lot of work done :) Enjoy those bonfires! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures of the moose too - awesome new additions!
My gosh, Ian...no one can say you aren't bustin' your butt. I'd take you up on that firewood offer if I lived a tad closer!
