I had only a bottling of wine event scheduled for this week, on Friday morning. That was canceled, so I’ve only home things to chronicle.
I used the opportunity to cut up trees that I had dropped last year or the year before. All I think I need for this winter is under cover. Some needs to be cut to length – 15 to 18 inches. Some is the right length but needs split.
If I get a chance, I’ll drop several trees for future use. The advantage is I can cut tall thin ones that won’t need to be split. Older and larger ones that die are more troublesome to prepare for fire wood. And the bigger they are the more dangerous they become.
The weather is supposed to be damp, rain, or snow. Lots of snow in the Cascades, but I think not here. Temperatures are fall-like.
The picture of the week is below.
Late in the afternoon, with the sun behind me and a dark sky to the East-North-East (ENE), this small tree lit up.
It is interesting that it has all its leaves, while the walnut trees have dropped theirs. Established small plum trees still have green leaves. Western Larch, a deciduous needle-leaf tree, are also golden now. I have some, but the natural habitat is on the north-facing slopes of mountains. Web photo is a typical scene.
Monday is Veterans Day. Shout-out to all.
