first snow

I'm not sure if I'm going to like the winter here. I'm glad that we are down on the flat because every yard you go up the mt the more snow you get. We have enjoyed our fire place and are trying to figure out how to maximize the heat we can get out of it. We haven't tried the chain saw yet but we have been getting advice on where to go and what kind of wood ect. I guess some wood burns a lot hotter then others. I know I'm going to need to stock up on a whole lot more hot chocolate. I need to find some way to make it healthier. Any suggestions. I found a recipe for homemade cocoa mix i'm going to try. That will be a lot cheaper.  

Fall

 

 

We had the most exquisite falls I have ever seen. We truly live in one of the most enchanting and beautiful places.

sorry some of these I already posted. Oh well you can enjoy them again

Saturday doings

 
 
 
 
We worked our little hearts out and Dave was pretty sore the next day. I had no clue how expensive and difficult putting in a fence is. I have wanted a path to my font door so people don't go to the back door the enters in right next to my kitchen sink. When I started digging this is what I found. I'm sure it was the original path. We are going to pull up all the brick flatten out the base add some peat gravel and put them back in. We also spent and hour gathering up black gold. Well hopefully it will turn into that. I wish the cows where in more of a contained area so it would be easier to gather their poo.

first fire

 
 
We started our first fire. If we want to have many of these this winter we have our work cut out for us collecting allready seasoned wood. Our fire place has a blower so it blowes the hot air out at us. We didn't run it long enough to see how long it would take to heat the upstairs but it was nice in the front room. We sat a quite a while quitley talking memorized by the flames. Dave almost everyother day told me hom much he loves living hear. I'm not sure i'm ready for winter yet. What happened to fall. I'm already going around with thermos on and my hand contatnly feel like ice cubes.

New Wreath

I have been looking for a wreath for my Kitchen that had red but didn't look like Fall or Christmas. I finally found this one and I love it.
