24 February 2013

Back at it

2012 was a dud year for numerous reasons. Back at it. I blog mainly as a record for myself.

It's a nice bright but cool February afternoon. I worked until three.

A couple weeks ago I had stuck trail tape on trees in this section of the property in hopes of cheating a bit and having my husband take them down with the chainsaw. I have been plucking away at them over several years, with the bow saw, while we were working on other areas
So he is at it a bit for me this afternoon.
He's cutting and I am hauling the wood up to the shed in my sled.
I must add here that this is a Pelican brand sled from Canadian Tire. Second winter with the same sled. I am very impressed, very impressed Its used daily when the snow is down to haul wood from the she to the house I use it to haul stuff all over It's a very rugged product(you would think that instead of planned obsolescence that companies would make durable products and generate business by positive word of mouth!!)

This is the first stage of this clearing. I want to reassess after these trees are gone.
This summer a greenhouse is hopefully being built behind the chicken coop.
I want to add some hazelnut trees apple trees and blackberry and honey berry and sea buckthorn bushes in this area.

The anticipation of spring is getting under my skin!!

Now to see how this publishes so that next entry, hopefully I can put a description beside the pictures.
