Drinking coffee in front of woodstove

I am not going out to check the dern thermometer to see outside temp... ITS SNOWING deck has inch of snow

 

WOW it's snowing out , big time

 

I am praying for spring come on Mother Nature I am done with flurries

 

Everything was white this morning but I managed to get 16 yards of gravel spread and several trees blocked up with the help of a friend. damm near froze in that wind today. Had to put a rope on most of what we cut

 

-4c right now. Ash is brewing.

 

27/75 on coals. With sun and 50 today won’t need much of a reload. Looks like we’ll be burning well into May, hopefully not June though. Long range forecast isn’t promising. At least it’s good weather for CSS

 

Day is starting out with very bright sunshine. I think we are going to hit the upper 40's today!


Wait...……… Can you hear that...…….. ??????


It sounds like the cottage is calling me!

 

Hi all it's been a while. No fire today as it's 53 & partly sunny where we are in OR. We relocated here mid December. We're currently residing at/caretakers for a family member's property, while they are living at/renovating a rental property. It was a win-win for us, as we sold our home/land and (when the pandemic ends) can begin exploring homesteading options in OR, WA, ID . I also sold our firewood stash, some of my saws and our splitter to the buyer in a package deal. Shortly after arriving, we began to focus on css-ing the lengths in the wood yard. The property is approx 27 acres/23 wooded with plenty of trees marked for felling. There is also a BLM area approx 1/2 mile up the road from us. Bonus: a tractor, 2 atv's, a trailer, suv, and 37 ton splitter on site . . "use 'em". I also bought me an Iso-Core (pronounced I's-so-sore).

 

Bright sun filled day with an overnight low of only 26 here. Heading into the 50's!!!!!

 

For those who get to shelter in, some of my fellow commuters. Weather is 20’s-30’s for lows and 40-60 highs.

 

Thanks for sharing.

 

Still having fires every night and usually a small reload in the morning. Everything was white Wednesday morning and there’s 3-6” on tap for Sunday night into Monday. Oh joy! It won’t last long thankfully. I need to bring in the last of this season’s wood today. About 2-3 weeks worth left at this rate and it looks like we’ll need it.
Stay safe out there and don’t go drinking any Lysol

 

34
Came flying out of bed at 5am thinking it was Monday !!! WTF is up with that.
Got up read the news , watched the bird feeder at sunup , and went out and put a small load in boiler. Bunch of punky chit and 6 shovels of chips n chit Checked cold frames on the way in. Got spinach and lettuce up about an inch.
Supposed to hit high 50s today. Had snow 4 days this week. Crazy for the end of April even here in the snow belt.
Will likely be burning well into June for HW and taking the chill off.
