Work and reward

Less than two hours after the start of summer, a chainsaw roared.  Both saws did excellent work to expand what's known as the "pool cover wood.".  The lighter colored pieces were cut today, just about half of what's there now. All of this wood gets cut, then protected by a pool cover  before moving into the big, enclosed shed the following spring. This beautiful biomass won't burn for about 20 months.  There's some nice kindling along with a lot of big wood, mainly red maple.

The reward after this morning's effort? Double Chocolate Malt Whole Wheat waffles. The raspberries had been frozen since last summer.

Wood and flowers

Late spring means more wood work and some great color from lupine, daisies, etc.
