We just got in from the wood project. Dropped one 8 inch scrub hickory and a 7 inch scrub elm. We brought back one tractor bucket of wood. The good news for us is that we discovered a good sized dead oak tree behind the area we were thinning out. If we take out two more scrub hickories we will have a clear shot at it. Temp is 94 here right now. Pretty much cooked us so we called it quits outside for the day.

Every bucket load brings us that much closer to getting done and the dead oak will give us wood that is ready to burn without much curing required.

Chooks have a lot of shade and water not to mention two fans going. Me? I'm sitting here with a big glass of iced tea trying to cool off and praying that we get the thunderstorms they are predicting for the area. Anything to cool it off as long as it doesn't rip the roof off in the process.

Had one heck of a doosy last night it was like poltergeist in here lights on off on boom smash no fireworks but heaven was having fun

When Dd #1 started moving in, I thought I'd never see my home in good, orderly shape again. Well, I'm starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Hallelujah! That deserves some ice cream, before we start dieting, right?

hope everything goes smoothly

Ice cream I bought 2 almost pints(140z.) of my favorite and my visiting son(32) asked if he could have some. I told him okay. What is wrong with me, I never share my favorite? Maybe it was some breakdown from the heat.

At least it keeps you active!

Hickory would be good for smoking meat too

What is your favorite
Mine is maple walnut or rum and raisin
I prefer frozen you yogurt or sherbet

I still love a really good plain old vanilla chocolate chip, but it is almost impossible to find up here.

You can, however, get five different types of mint chocolate chip in the same store how is that right

Alaskan loved "mint chocolate chip." I am very specific "Haagen-Daz Rocky Road."

Other brands of that variety have mini solid marshmallows inside. HD has the smoothest, silkiest marshmallow cream inside. Vive la difference
