Windows to Russia

They have been harvesting all the lakes. We are at the end of the system of lakes, thus last to be harvested. Yesterday they started to drain the lake. You can hear the roar of the water as it is sucked out the exit tube. They do it slow and steady, so the fish do […]

Terrible image; Taken with cell phone and still dark. So washed out, but it caught my attention as I walked Boza this morning and the rain was about to start. I snapped it and it shows Fall is here… I am looking at the baby maples growing in the field next to it and looking […]

Boza is the boss and as such he gets to watch me work. He cracks the whip and sleeps as I get the job done. Then he wants to be feed and scratched behind the ears. Sounds good to me and when I get all grown up, I want to be a straw boss… 😉 […]

I have moved all the precut wood that I am going to move. The rest is so bad that it is crumbling to dust, thus I will let it finish tuning to dust… Next I start stacking the wood that I am going to cut, then I will start a fourth stack on the back […]
