Middle of the night I wake to sound of wife closing windows and the STRONG smell of skunk.
"dog?"
"I don’t think so”
“c’mere buddy”
{dog looks guilty out of habit}
*sniff*
“he doesn’t smell any worse than usual”

I wonder what got hit? Or were they just practicing? “Ok, kids, so this is what you do when something scary gets close.”
MOM!!!!

I recently bought an electric chainsaw. I’m really liking how easy it is to use and maintain. One thing I hadn’t thought of is that it still needs some fossil fuels (for now) in the form of chain oil, but it’s much quieter, easy to start, and has no stinky fumes.

Having a chat on the phone with a friend who's coming to help me move some furniture tomorrow. An old wooden cabinet is really only good for being broken up for firewood. She ended up sending me pictures of her hatchet and axe to see which is best for the job.. her axe definitely is much better than mine but it's huge and she doesn't fancy bringing it on the train! I can borrow one off a neighbour but most amused by our Friday night chopper chat!

I hit a one night on that same road a couple of years ago. They’re solid fuckers, they are. Nearly wrote the bloody car off, and it just rolled over and scampered away like nothing had happened. It was like driving into a fucking pile of sandbags. I damn near shit meself. 🦡

Onononono! Temp is already down to -17°C and it’s headed to -27 tonight and we just lost power. I better bring some wood in for the wood stove before it gets too cold in here!

Oak. Freshly split. Smells and splits differently from beech but so so satisfying. This lot will be making a beautiful fire in the stove next christmas i hope - if stacked sensibly in the windy part of the wood stores that is.

Hay!! My favourite dad joke in the car when I see hay. 🤣 In the background is Mount Burr. They’re just starting to bale after some favourable drying weather. It won’t be long until this shed is full again.

Just dug the cars and truck out from under more than a foot of snow and shoveled walkways and now I know why middle aged people drop dead doing this. Omg. Can't lift my arms. @stevetex is still in the tractor. Don't know how many things he's run into yet.

"It is one of the joys of country life that you are immersed in a culture of mending and tending. There is something ungrateful in the habit of throwing things away. You also feel more at home when you support the world that supports you and tend to the needs of things that you need." ~ Roger Scruton

They appeared to be headed to Walmart, possibly to catch the pre-Black Friday deals? 🤔

I knew I was moving to a really rural place, but it does get extreme. This is the best shot I could get (tail end of about a dozen) since it was a quick-draw situation.
