ready for winter again...

well..

ready , as in...

 

our firewood is ready for winter to hit us again

 

the small pile,

on the left,

is the leftover wood from last season..

we started with 11 skids of wood,

and only used 7..

so we have 4 skids

of really dry firewood

to begin this winter with..

 

as of today,

there are

12 skids of wood,

drying..

 

 

 

again, last years wood

 is the small pile in front,

this years fresh cut/split, and piled wood

 is in the back

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



apple trees

our apple trees are in full blossom

 

all 16 of them!

 

 

 

 

 

 

the past 3 nights,

we have had mild frost and/or snow..

 

and we have 2 more nights

where the temps are forecasted to be

around 2 C...

 

so far the frost has not damaged the blossoms..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



it doesn't take long

for the snow to melt

once it starts...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

where Ron had plowed a path 

so we could get to the wood pile (right side)

 the snow has melted a lot

 

but a little bit closer to the bush

and the snow starts to get deeper...

you can see the little blue trailer

to the left of the 4-wheeler tracks

 

just past the blue trailer

is the entrance to the bush

 

the trees on either side of the entrance

are some of the trees

that Ron and Tyler were pruning

last week

 

the black trailer is finally uncovered from snow

....

but we can't get the 4-wheeler in to the bush yet 

 

 

 coming back out of the bush,

you can see the trailer-hitch drag mark

in the snow just in front of the 4-wheeler hood

so there's still a good amount of snow to melt

close to, and in , the bush 

 

 

the temps are supposed to hover around +10 C

in a couple of days,

with lots of rain too...

 

I'll take some more pictures next week

and maybe we'll be able to get back in the bush

on the 4-wheeler by then
