    Today's victim was a squirrelly red maple - aren't they all? Tomorrow, a decent red oak. Anyone near S. Central Pa is welcome to stop by and help with the clean up and take any firewood they want.

    Got all the firewood cleaned up today. Let the twigs and leaves or the sheep and pigs. They love fresh leaves. Next victim is the bigger (~27" DBH) red oak with the orange tape on it on the left of this picture.

    Yes, it sucked, but I really need to get this area cleared out so we can put up the new barn before winter.
