    Saw a BIG woodchuck climb over my pile of rounds today. I wasn’t quick enough to grab the rifle and he slipped away. My son saw it later and thought it was a big beaver! It lived to fight another day, but we’ll get it. That pile is going to be split and stacked soon, so mr woodchuck will have to come out some time.

    I was just working on that. I figure 1-2 face cord. Pretty lazy critter. I have had others that were much harder workers.

    I’ll have to split about 20 cord to get to him. Looks like he lives right in the middle of the pile.

    Found this garter snake while unstacking the other day. Took the pics and let it go back in another stack. Later found a snakeskin. IMG_7753.JPG IMG_7751.JPG IMG_7752.JPG IMG_7750.JPG
