At the Log Cabin March 28, second day

This pile I wanted to "work through"
Old, dry branches of a fir-tree
The thicker branches will be used in the outdoor-stove. The thin ones are helpful to start the fire
Cutting the branches...
And stapling them besides the stove
Those fir-trees have to be cut, they are getting too tall
Ready for the job! all safety stuff (trousers helmet and glove, also the shoes I wear are safety-ones)
The bigger fir-trees are "gone"
A bit further down I noticed two alder-trees which had fallen down, so I cut them into pieces
Job done! all the wood including the branches are piled up and covered!

Log cabin Days January 2023

Bild
 Very unusual: There is no snow around (the cabin is 1'450 metres above sea level). I enjoy those days on my own, can spoil myself with meals that we normally do not cook. Like Borschtsch (my friend Ollie from Chippenham told me about this). And I can do "woodwork" in our little forest. Here some pictures: No snow at all! The water from our well is running perfectly   Borschtsch cooked at the Outdoor citchen These tilted alder trees will be cut     Fully equiped with security helmet; -boots -and trousers  Part of the job of the first "working day" done    Second working-day: The logs have to be split up with a splitting- and a sledge hammer. This is hard work!   Therefore a break is necessary! Result of second working-day. I am tired but satisfied!    Pile done! Just under two cubic meter   Temporarily covered   The cabin   And here the view across the valley  In the night of Tuesday we got 15 cm snow My track in the virgin snow   The empty space above the pile

May 2023: Ten days in our cabin

Bild
   It was about time, to look after the surrounding of our cabin. Quite a few jobs had to be done: - The fence toward the little street had to be renewed. For this we had to make about ten new poles.  - These poles we cut in our own little wood. There are enough fir trees! - I also had to prepare the scythe by peening it (zu Deutsch: Dengeln) - Sabine looked after the little garden and the two berry-bushes Beside of all this we also had relaxing and enjoyable time.  - We spoiled ourselfes with delicious food - We observed the nature around our place - We also met some friends from up there The weather was much better than expected. When it rained, it did mainly at night. Ohe evening, there came a shower of sleet - just in time so that we could cool our white wine which adjoined the fish meal All in all a fantastic time. Here impressions of it:   First afternoon after arriving   First morning - brunch     This tree will give us two or three posts for the fence Sabine cleared off all
