A few interesting pictures from the game cameras.

This should be the last snowstorm of the winter we are hoping, we need to get some dry days so we can get going on planting, etc. It was very picturesque though.

Finally finished splitting all of the wood from the one downed tree in the ‘bowl’. Patty pretty much did all of the splitting and I did all of the transporting and stacking back up by the house. Mirlo watched.

Patty was down with her father for about 5 days while I went skiing with the boys. The day before I left we split enough wood so she would have plenty for the weekend and then we did a little practice with the pistol and 20 gauge. She likes the 20 gauge the best.

Dad & Mom came down today and helped with the processing of a tree I cut down last week. Pulled the main trunk out with a chain and cut it up into sizes ready for the splitter. Great to have someone helping otherwise I would have had to continually switch from tractor to chainsaw to attaching chains all day. Afterwards Dad gave the new ATV a spin and then we relaxed on the porch enjoying the warm weather and a few cigars.

These are going to be a blast!

Took down a dead red oak tree today. Didn’t like the setup, tree was surrounded by thick sticker bushes which is not a good situation for trying to escape a tree coming down in the wrong direction. Ended up being just fine. I cut up the branches and part of the top of the tree for firewood so far, still need to process the trunk, going to make good firewood.

Kids got a DJI drone for Christmas, very cool. Below is a link to the video for our first flight.

Forecasters were all over the place with this one, first up to 1″, then nothing, and now it looks like we will get 4-5″.  Love the way the place looks with falling and fresh snow.  Unfortunately I couldn’t enjoy it fully as it feels like I’m getting the flu…ugh.
