A winters worth of heat

"Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned." Well got all our wood brought down an' split up. About seven or so cords. Won't know just how much we got till it's all stacked.
After splitin' by hand my whole life, usin' a machine seems like cheatin'. But it sure is nice to knock it all out in two days.

Falliness

Things'r windin' down in the garden. all that left to harvest is some carrots and broccoli. Just trying to put things to bed.
It's been snowing on an off for the last couple of weeks. not more than an inch in town and it melts off 'fore noon.
the fall colors peaked last week. The mountain was really aglow.
Picked up a new valley car. '97 impreza sport outback. 2.2 liter. 135,000 mi. From a little old lady down the street.

We drove down to the Fruita Fall Fest last weekend. Some good bluegrass and lots of vendors selling stuff you don't need. This was a really cool steampower exibit.
