It's good to know so many of my BYC friends have tools to cut wood, in case I ever come across any rounds!

Love our wood stove, but large chunks of firewood won't fit in it.

OK So I can't take it any more. Can somebody tell me what driving "bulldozers and dump trucks" has to do with qualifications for a High level Govt position???

My white leghorn Blanche is a little egg laying machine. She hasn't missed a day since October 8th.

She's a good little girl. Give her an extra treat! I'm threatening all of mine except for the rocks and the brahma I got last year.

Speaking of bad little chickens. The EExSilkie hen who molted while laying in August was MIA tonight. You'd think I'd know better now. I checked all around outside thinking she didn't get into the pen before I locked them up this afternoon and we left. I found her in one of the darkest nest boxes when I went to get the eggs. I got the "rawwrrrr" bite, twist, pull when I reached for the eggs under her.

Tomorrow I'll find out if she's broody, or just had a call of the nest box before bed and didn't get on the roost in time.

That tree stack has always impressed me. I'd hate to use the wood for a fire.

One of the best thing about Hamburgs is that they are darling little silver babies with a metallic sheen and never go through an ugly adolescence: they look very different at two weeks, three weeks, four weeks (when it's easy to determine gender) and then about five weeks they start looking like little adults, only darker, and from that point on they just get prettier and prettier.


I should put up the baby pictures from last spring, although... not today. I had two strong, healthy, young adults helping me yesterday, and I never did learn not to try to keep up with those people.

What?  No "So ugly, they're cute" stage?  Seriously.  Didn't know that was even possible.  Pictures please!

Ren, I'll try to do it in the morning, but I've had my post dumped TWICE when I hit return twice to format it so you can tell which caption goes with which photo, and I'm at my maximum aggravation for the day, sorry.

You forgot to mention how fast they are !!!!!!!!!









The last baby is very tuckered out...

Only four? Alas!

Yeah, they're zippy little things!

Here's my solution to "BIG WOOD" That block is setting on my home built splitter. At that time the splitter was powered by the tractor. That is only a 28" saw. 

Come cut this one up.
















8 foot trough the cut there.............no one can cut it up...what a waste.

That's a Sitka Spruce, right? That's the wood they made B-17 airframes out of (and the Spruce Goose). It's HARD, and the grain spirals around the trunk so splitting it is... strenuous. The coastal tribes made wedges to split other wood out of the lower part of the limbs; I've handled one out of a wet site and it felt like iron.
