Lumberjacking update

I'm slowly making progress on the log pile. After each cutting session, I rake up the sawdust and haul it out to the compost pile. A clean workplace is a happy workplace. It won't be long before the sawing is all done for the season. Then it's just a matter of splitting the big logs with the axe each day before I haul them up into the house for burning. I'm so butch.

Two rows of logs, cut and stacked high. I should get at least one more row with the remaining logs, maybe a bit more.

Once the logs are done, I still have some outdoor chores to get done before winter arrives. Among them, cutting the grass again and trimming the small hedges. We've asked the contractor back to trim the tall hedges (like the one in the photo below) and we're waiting to hear from him about the scheduling. But the hedges that were cut down to a smaller size last year are mine to trim. It should be pretty easy to do if the weather holds.

These are the logs I have left to saw. Just a few more days work. At my pace, that is.

I got my hair cut by the new lady in town. I like what she did, so I'm sure I'll go back. She did a nice job redecorating the salon and she's young and excited about her new business. I hope it works out for her.
