I had an amazing time this weekend getting things done. The more you can check off the list the better things seem. We had a beautiful sunny weekend. I am not even tarnished one bit at the fact of heavy rains all week. Maybe we can get rid of most of the snow. I managed to get two more raised beds all set up and ready for planting. I will have a couple of photos to post eventually but I would rather a sprout showing its tip first....for complete accomplishment.
These last two days were spent with chainsaw and axe in hand. It is sad to see some of the trees go however on the bright side (hopefully much more bright) we get firewood in the future and more sun to the gardens. It is wonderful to live in a forest but it definitely comes with its' challenges. We really don't get enough sun for our gardens. We work hard to have them as vibrant and producing as possible. Patience and dedication is key.
However really the vegetable garden is still technically on the back burner at this time since we still have lots of snow on ground....
so chop chop...
Splitting wood for next year, chopping down trees for the following year, this is what was on my agenda today. I love to split wood. The strength and precision is alluring to me. It is also nice to contribute to heating costs....
the end results warm the soul.
