okay winter, we are ready for you

We had two loads of wood delivered today.  We ordered some last year from the same guys.  Because we are a re-peat customer we got a discount off the price.  The price is pretty cheap anyway.  The only thing wrong with the wood is that they cut the length a bit too long.  So, some of the really big logs won't fit in our wood stove.  To solve that problem we cut most of the logs in half.

So, I did the cutting. 

 

And, Jim did the stacking.

 

I noticed today that one of our trees is turning orange.  This particular tree has always turned yellow and for some reason this year it has decided to turn orange.  I'm hoping that it will turn completely orange before the leaves start to fall off.

 

The hens...Not much to say about them only that they're getting big. 

I've been working on some knitted Christmas gifts for the grand-girls.  I can't show them yet because some of my grand-kids look at my blog with their mom.  But, now that school started I'm not sure how much they look anymore...I just don't want to take the chance tho.  So, I'll show them after Christmas.

It's pretty busy around our homestead here.  There's never a dull moment.

Look at you go at that saw! I so wish we had a wood stove. One day we will get rid of the gas fireplace and have a wood one fitted in. Gas is not what it's cracked up to be.

Thanks for not showing the pics!! We still look, but I have been screening beforehand cuz I know you have had that particular project going on...p.s. the girls said "go Grandma!" and Reese said "yeah, right!" He was appropriately impressed. :) Have a great day!!

Wow - you both are so handy! Did it take long to cut all the logs?

Your hens look so sweet.

Man, you've been busy this week Judy! That's a BIG saw! Our trees have been different colors than their normal colors too and sadly, the leaves are almost all down now. Good luck with your orange tree!
