September Ends

Well, tomorrow is the first day of October ... wow, time flies! I'm back to gathering/cutting/stacking wood for winter. We are focusing on gathering a cord of wood a day for ten days, and then we will cut and stack it all neatly. I figured we could cut wood in the snow, but would have a hell of a time gathering it in the snow so the priority is to get enough for the winter up to the house.

We got about a cord and a half gathered today so are on schedule.

The trees here are starting to change colours quickly, and the path to the camping area is starting to be covered in orange, red and yellow leaves. It's very beautiful and peaceful, but also a little sad. The wheel turns, with life comes death, and through death comes new life. The time of death is upon us.

The wildlife around here is starting to increase. we heard an elk last night, and have seen numerous wild turkeys passing through the area. It's bear season here, so everyone is suppose to be extra careful, I'm still waiting to see a bear!

I took some photos when i was out gathering wood today ...
