getting wood!!!

It's been a couple of years since we have taken wood out of our bush.  But, this year with the slightly larger tractor to pull loads back, Kris and Rick have been getting some logs from the trees that have come down.  Because it is a fairly mature bush with lots of oak and maple trees, every year a few trees blow down, which is about all we need for fireplace wood.  Kris has really been enjoying working back there - he's on his second chain-saw chain now!  pictured here is Kris bringing a trailer full of wood up to the house

Not much else is new - real estate continues steady, but financing continues to be a bit  of a headache for many buyers which is slowing the market down a little bit - particularly in the lower priced homes.

Rick listed a fabulous farm on Mink Lake last week - comes complete with a sugar bush operation.  I haven't been up to look at it yet - but Rick is very enthusiastic about it. I'll have to drive up and see it soon.

I finally had surgery on my wrist last Monday for Carpal Tunnel - seems to have gone well - it was only painful for about 12 hours after the surgery - since then its just be a bit of a hassle having my right hand bandaged - it is somewhat limiting. Tomorrow the packing and bandages come off and will be replaced with a light band-aid. Can't wait!!!

well, that's all for now, folks - I'll try do better at keeping up my blog!
