HIBERNATION/ISOLATION

 

Winter has arrived and we are busy cutting wood and experimenting with fermented foods. We are fine, healthy and active just staying away from people as the Covid-19 numbers continue to  climb here in Ontario

Penny has recovered  from  her operation and  takes us on a daily walk through the bush She loves winter rolling in the snow and  chasing the squirrels  from our bird feeders

Until we have something new to report we are taking a hiatus but will be back in the spring

Stay safe and  well everyone and  lets hope 2021 is  better year for everyone

SUNSHINE

 

I haven't felt like doing much this past week. It's been cloudy and gloomy all week but yesterday everythig changed; we saw the sun again. It's amazing how quickly our moods can change and the mundane does't look so boring as it did yesterday, thanks to just a  little sushine.

I did manage to cut down  a number of trees but this huge Poplar tree will have to wait until the spring to be cut into firewood. I will cut it into logs and use the skid-steer to haul them up to my log-splitter. That way I don't break my back hauling wood.

You may be wondering about the ladder. I had to relocate the clothesline recently and decided the ladder should be left in place just in case we have an issue over the winter. Climbing unstable ladders in winter is something I try to avoid. My thinking is if it's burried in snow and on solid ground all should be good.

Even our solar panels were happy to be producing energy for our batteries. Hope the sun is shining on you today.

Stay safe and well everyone and thanks for stopping by..
