Love this!

I have the PERFECT spot for this setup!! Anyone know if you can get these anywhere?

I love snow. Wait, it's till Summer according to the calendar. For the last two days we have watched it snow, melt, snow some more and stay. What weird weather we are having. 
It's a big wake up though. We are not ready with our winter wood supply yet!! The forecast says it will be up to +18 by the weekend so thank goodness we will have some more time. We will be very busy splitting and stacking to get 4-5 cords put up for the winter.
I hope where you are you are ready for your winter season, and if not I wish you some more nice weather to get ready.
Happy Monday!

A clearing we will go!!

Chaining sawing and stump grinding today! A clearing we will go!! Lol

Yum!

½ tsp ground black pepper

Peel cucumbers and slice very thin. Place into bowl with onion, pepper and garlic. Mix liquids and spices. Pour over veggies. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Serve cold.

Tree check

Went for a walk last night and checked our trees and shrubs. Most of them are doing well. The choke cherries are doing the best out of everything, and some of the raspberries are doing well, same with the maples and some of the apples. Some not so well but we're hoping they will make it.

Squirrel Approved!

The squirrel approves of the new BIRD feeder!
