Did you hear about the cross-eyed teacher who lost her job? She couldn't control her pupils!
When my granddaughter was about 12, we were boating, anchored in a cove with the family, I pointed to a tree stump and said to her "I'm trying to...
Sum beech, that's big. It looks like the only beech in Missouri is in the south east along the Mississippi River. Edit; this is on the Missouri...
Good memories!

Since it's rare to get the coffee in tins these days, I've been saving the gallon size cans of green beans, pork and beans, or whatever. We don't...
Looks like good wood. :yes: Hickory can be stringy, and that's partially seasoned, which can make it stringier.
That's a good idea, I'll have to look into that. This is a lot of snow for us, and the -2* temp hits about twice a year. You're on a level all...
The struggle is real! Our garage sits at the bottom of a downhill driveway, facing north, so yeah, I get it! Sometimes I worry my wife will hit...
At 5:00 this morning it was -2* out, 7 hours later it's 36 and sunny. We got about a foot of snow yesterday, the sun should help melt my shoveled...

I realize there's a lot of variables, but about how long do you usually let it cook? We may have something like that around here, I'll have to...
The fire pit it's in is not completely ground level, and I tend to trim out bad areas of wood, like ant infested centers or rotten bark. But I...
Some pine cones require fire to spread their seeds. This world never ceases to amaze me with how different species adapt to survive and thrive....
Barcroftb, I watched the video. That is a dedicated operation, it was very interesting, I had no idea something like that would be so involved and...
I haven't used kindling as much as I thought, I've kept the same fire going for days on end, and I've started several of my fires top down, which...
It kills me to burn all this kindling, but I still have 3 trash cans full from last years wood processing. And I'm not using as much kindling as I...
Another winter treat is where water seeps up to the ground, during freezing weather of course, and forms frost flowers. My sister lived near Table...
