Before/After

Both saws did some nice work yesterday morning. We cut, stacked -- and even did a small amount of splitting-- of a collection of generally smaller wood which had been adding up since last autumn. Much of the paper birch fell to help sugar maples and oaks enjoy more sun. This kindling and some larger wood will sit for well over a year before burning. Here are before/after pictures of the glorious effort.

Harvest goodies prior to processing

Six cups of blackberries about to begin transformation to blackberry jam.

These cut cucumbers will become either pickles or a nice salad with onions.
