Sorry photo heavy... tree guys cut down a twin white oak yesterday. I managed to get the hoe out and cut a bit of the upper trunk into rounds yesterday morning before it got too hot.

The larger of the two trunks... on the ground and safe if not exactly in a good spot.

What I cut yesterday... not a lot of firewood there but it's a start

So this morning in about 2 1/2 hours I bucked up both trees into rounds while N picked up branches. It took 3 chainsaws and a hoe and a determined old geezer to get it done.

I still need to noodle the base into two then buck it up... saving that for another day.

Ha! In the British show Doc Martin, set in Cornwall, you learn that there had long ago been a mental asylum in nearby Bodmin, so they often use the term, ‘going Bodmin’. Now we’ve got our own Bodmin! I love it!!!!

Who can forget Stewart and Anthony! I watched the entire series a few years ago. Rewatching it again, currently on Series 4. Speaking of, we could use a bit of Cornish temperature...it's 16°C/61°F there in the morning right now and it's 27°C/81°F here in Central MO at nearly midnight.

Had our first rain shower in six weeks early this morning. Here's hoping for a lot more.

It’s cloudy and rainy here too, but so far, not a measurable amount has fallen.......

Cloudy and light rain... sure puts a damper on my firewood splitting party... no one showed up not even me.

Still no rain worth mentioning over here, every minute or two I feel a drop

We got just enough to be wickedly humid. I went out to give all the quail fresh water and had to sit down halfway through, dripping sweat and dizzy. Finally got them all done though.

Anyone in far sw Missouri area looking for a bunny? I got 6 right now that are half lionhead and have English lop, super cute things, I'm not great at sexing them. 15 for one or 20 for 2

 

[jthornton]

I have free wild bunnies and don't have to feed them or clean up after them but they don't seem to not mind me walking past them. Haven't made friends with any yet...
