Old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Athenaeus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another gray snowy day. Another load of wood needs doing two If I can. Another snowstorm is on its way. The meteorologists can’t agree from one day to another how much will fall. From 2 to 40 cm. Whatever the amount I hope to have too much wood split and inside before it comes down. Bones are hurting that usually tells me when bad weather is coming.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I just ran out of powdered whole milk I use for coffee. I have two more bags waiting at the post office. I just need to get there tomorrow. Dependent on the snow. I would survive without. I have a can of evap milk.<\/p>\n

Today another kitten was rescued, one more alive out there. I hope I can catch it. No sign of the two missing boy cats no tracks no sounds nothing. I hope they make it. Very cold weather coming in a few days after the snow.<\/p>\n

Just finished the chainsawing and brought a load in. The bad thing now there are two loads inside to be split. They need to get done or I don’t get to get Gracie out of her garage and I will be having canned milk in my coffee. Yuck.<\/p>\n

I cut way more than I need out there because once the snow is down I won’t be able to find those logs that are at ground level. I cut as many as I could today and hope to do more tomorrow. I know now that snow is coming for sure my grader operator just did my road. If he shows up it means a snowstorm is coming. I am sure it is because he gets two trips once before and once after the snow. He is more accurate than weather forecasters.<\/p>\n

\nNew rescue in the center with her brother and sister that were rescued before.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nI got it wrong the wheelbarrow is for cats, not wood.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am again soaked in sweat and a little stinky, after that work. I still need to go out and transplit two loads. (transport and split.) I am going to take a break and then head out again. Same old. Gas up the gen, start it, split wood transport, unload, rinse and repeat. All the wood has to be done as I mentioned.<\/p>\n

Finished the splitting now. Two loads brought into the fireroom. No room for the cats that live in there. Bring on the snowstorm.<\/p>\n
