We've had some good fun and have some cool stuff to show for it.
After the township came and topped the already ugly pine trees in the front yard, we figured it was time to do somethin' else. I took the trees down for firewood and then we went to the nursery and talked to a really knowledgable guy about ALL the trees that we could possibly plant in their place. We both loved this little paper bark maple, so it has a new home.
Sarah picked some HUGE and tasty carrots for a chutney she made,
I finished the handle on my new knife and am super pleased.
I taught myself to split big difficult logs with lots of little wooden wedges.
This is what passes for our pantry. What it lacks in cellarness, it makes up for in quantity and quality. That's 100 proof goods all the way down!
This afternoon I made a super rustic rack for our outdoor fireplace wood to get it out from under the shed to make room for the the incoming winter heating wood.
And also today, I scored a couple big drum brakes. You're looking at the future centerpiece of my blacksmith shoppe!
So who has time for work? Tomorrow Sarah starts her intermediate level sailing course, so think windy thoughts.
Cheers!
