Sarah made an amazing harvest pie. She casually asked if I'd just peel the pumpkin real quick. She has a sick sense of humour that you can only appreciate if you've tried to peel a pumpkin before. Amazingly resilient, those.
Weeder and I gettin' a little cuddle time in by the wood stove.
Sarah and I are building a shelter for our fire wood so that we can really stock up in the summer and have it be good and dry by the time we need it. This means, of course, that I dug some more holes. 18" x 3.5' Jonas promptly fell in one. Amazing.
Talked to Dad about how to get everything parallel and perpendicular... Step one: unstack all the wood that we've been carefully stacking for 3 months. Of course. Sarah helped here, but took a break to document the Sisyphean effort.
With B's help, and that of all our dogs (note black tail center frame), perpendicular, plumb parallel looking posts up. We'll see whether they're all really parallel and in line this weekend when we attach the cross beams and the roof itself. Should be exciting. Bet on Murphy.

"realy stock up in the summer"??? are you insane? you have an entire forests worth of wood in that picture!
I thought you didn't get anything done! That looks like alot of work and effort already...heard your Dad tell you how to get every thing plumb and level...that would have stopped me right there - the firewood would be covered with a tarp. Good luck - be sure it is well constructed. You may need it as an in-law suite someday. Sarah, that pie looks awesome - yummmmm. LOL Mom
