    The first and most important thing, after it snows, make a path to the wood stacks. :tree: :D

    When I plow the drive it includes plowing the stacks. I usually loop around the stacks gonna, have some issues this year if I don't get some wood waiting to be split moved around. I have a road block situation right now. As you know it's not common to deal with a foot of snow in November around here!

    I didn't do a very good job cuz i know its going to melt, normally got to keep it cleared out pretty good in case you get some more.
    Well you going to have to get out there and get that roadblock taken care of, after the snow melts, before we get more:)
    I made sure I picked up all the sticks that the wind blew down, the other day so they wouldn't get stuck in the snow blower
    I have wood on the back deck too, but I like to have access to, all the different kinds of wood, as per temperature and daytime and nighttime burns.

    I'm counting on this stuff all being melted by the weekend. Still need to do a few gardening tasks before real winter sets in. Forecast is for 50s and rain Thursday & Friday here; hope they get this one right.

    I didn't know it was going down to the teens tonight, so I had to walk the path, to go get me some Hickory.
    No boots needed:thumbs:

    All done with the harvest, just some clean up tasks. Raspberry pruning, a bit of mulching and some fencing to keep the rabbits away from the blackberry canes. Need to put the tractor in the shed and put my cart up on pallets until spring. Might even get out in the woods for a bit of cutting if the snow melts - don't have chains for my tractor and once the snow hits it is useless.
