The week here in Central Missouri started warm and dry, and ended cool and damp. There's a heavy frost on the ground this morning.

We're working at getting things ready for winter. Had no time to spend in the garden over the weekend. Still waiting on the garlic to sprout. Bumper crop of kale and collards waiting to be harvested.

Winterized the camper, put the sides on flatbed trailer and dropped it off at the sawmill, put a bit of surface rock on the driveway, turned the compost heap, tuned up the retaining wall around Mrs. Augie's flowerbed, planted a dwarf spruce tree, and hauled off a mountain of tree pruning scraps.

I dropped most of two middling sized dead mulberry trees and cut it up for stovewood. Also dropped a dead elm and a dead oak out of the fenceline in the back yard. That stuff made a nice addition to the woodpile. I've got at least this much more dead mulberry, and a pair of kentucky coffee trees that still need to come down. The fun never ends around here.

Jealous! Beautiful woodpile! Never underestimate the value of a big woodpile!

Beau moved our woodpile somewhere when he was repairing a water line to the barn and I have no idea where it is now, LOL!

We only use it for bonfires; we have REAL heat in the house now. Yay! :)
