Firewood for Sale

 Our neighbors down the road have been cutting up trees that fell during one of last year’s storms. It is so cold that they are selling lots. I stopped by to ask if I could buy a little bit to use in our fire pit down by the creek where we sit at night and roast marshmallows with Eloise when they come for a visit. They were happy to let me have some, and about 10 minutes later they brought it up to the house and stacked it for me....15.00. Now that a GOOD NEIGHBOR!

Before the Snow

After the Snow
This is a repost...I just wanted to show my wee woodpile before and after the snow.

The Gate That Is a Fence

I know this is a gate, but it is hooked to two fence posts and works both as a fence and a gate. There is an old road bed that runs under it. Our property is to the right and our neighbor’s is to the left...and he has the key. My two sons are already on the other side and rest of us are waiting to climb up and over or tromp around the post through the briars and the brambles. Back when we heated with a wood store, we would drive our old Land Rover up this so-called "road” to cut our wood. Thank goodness we don’t do that anymore. Turning on the propane heaters in this old farmhouse is lots easier. Yes, that is a “posted" sign on the post because we do not want hunters tromping up above the houses and killing the turkey and deer. I doubt it really works. If we can climb the fencing gate, they can, too. My younger son is on the right and the older one who was visiting is on the left. Our friend and Eloise are in front. Buddy and I are bringing up the rear, and you know who has the camera :-)

As we were coming down from the walk atop our ridge, this is what we saw... Big House and Little House Mountains in the distance and the Teaford and Rexrode barns. The fencing is around the Rexrode farm.
