A lot is happening here this fall. Despite the rain we have still managed to get a few things done to prepare for Winter. The biggest thing is that we have a wonderful skidder making trails in our woods as he collects hemlock, pine, and poplar for pulp. A wonderful side effect to this is that we are also getting some very large hemlock pieces to mill next year into lumber to build a barn ( sugarhouse, garage...). We have also managed to complete our hoop house over the broccoli plants. I am hoping that this will protect my little darlings through the first few frosts enough so that they actually produce before snowfall. We shall see if this little experiment works!
Eli and Siah watching the stone cutters at the fair. They don't look happy do they? The atmosphere there wasn't very friendly.
What is happening in school right now? Well, last week we spent a day at the Commonground Country Fair, and tomorrow, we are off to the Botanical Gardens of Maine! Time to get those field trips in before the snow keeps up housebound!
Is that the area of the backyard that was full of hills??
ReplyDeleteDo you mean, the deep woods? Or the little stump piles that are still there, but look small in relation to the skidder and huge hemlocks.
