Freezing fog today; flakes tomorrow, followed by a warm up next week.

Over the past week or so we harvested our Brussels sprouts. Seven packages went into the freezer; 5 meals so far, fixed various ways. We also gave about 5 pounds to friends. The chickens loved the leaves.

Mainly been busy “harvesting” 8 cords of firewood from decked thinnings & beetle-killed trees on the local national forest. Between this, and what we already had on-hand, we probably have enough to get us through not only this winter, but also the two following. We use our 25’ flatbed trailer, and can get 1-1/2 to 2 cords in a hard day’s cutting; one more load to go.

Speaking of sprouts, so far, neither the winter wheat not the garlic is showing any signs of sprouting.

Season opens tomorrow, so will also try to harvest a deer; already got our first turkey of the season, which opened a few weeks ago.
