Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Unless we get some unseasonably warm temperatures, this will be here until spring.

Further up the mountain they tend to keep snowfall for longer. Some people ski up there.

I still do a lot of cutting with a bow saw and a cutting rack.

Screw that! That's too much like work! I just got home from cutting, splitting, & loading wood in 3 trucks & a trailer. Actually, most of what I did was splitting; I was under orders not to do any heavy lifting, for fear of tearing the 6 stitches that were put in my upper arm yesterday after the removal of a melanoma.

Definitely no bow sawing for you then.
I try not to take down the large diameter grown trees unless necessary.
I try to cut out the saplings at around 3 inch diameter max. This means I don't have to split and they dry quickly. It takes at least two years for the evergreen oak here to dry to 15% moisture content. It burns oaky after a year but a lot of energy is still going into drying the wood instead of heating the stove.

Did they get it all?

Well Better than I expected...

I'm not sure if that's good, or not.
I suppose a lot depends on what you expected.

Where's the chain? The short one would probably be best. I hope it's not buried under all this snow... *Digs frantically for the chain*

Not as bad as it could have been. I did edit before posting.

About time! I cant believe you left with all that rooster goo from your shoe on there. Good thing your lilly pad is on the other side of the pond. (See what I did there?)

6 stitches? Ouch! x2 what Al said, I hope they got it all. Try to behave yourself this week Whites.
