Firewood Saga...43º

Late Saturday afternoon, our last 1 1/2 cords of firewood was delivered, thrown out into a pile in front of our neatly stacked wood from two weeks ago...7am found both of us, warmly dressed, outside ready to tackle the day...Herb worked at filling the small trailer with small pieces of wood to take to the cellar...I rolled the larger rounds into place, where they will spend the winter...Two hours later, three loads in the cellar, (it is almost full), we took a break to have something to eat...We worked for another hour or so and decided we had done enough and Monday morning we would finish the job...It felt good to work hard and this morning neither of us have any ill effects!

The yard cleanup should be finished this week, other jobs that I've been putting off are; canning chili, pickling beets, harvesting the carrots to bring in and store for the winter and leave some, mulched with straw also for winter...I start water therapy this week so will have to juggle other things around that and also take time to enjoy these beautiful fall days.

The fall musical this year is "Mary Poppins," and our tickets are for this coming Saturday afternoon...The great reviews are still coming in, as we anxiously await our turn...Our third annual "Hot Springs Adventure," is on the horizon...Stayed tuned for more details...Also Pam and I are again scheduled to work at the "Halloween Haunted House" at the Wallowa lake Lodge, where we serve up the caramel apples to all the ghosts and goblins and witches...Hugs To All...OWAV:)

Not much left to do today.

Our guarantee for a warm winter.
