Back to the Land

Another (!!) storm was expected, so we spent the next day getting outside chores done.

Gerald wanted our culvert defined with rocks, so while he worked on the fireplace, I did that.

I also tweaked our "mini pond" so the water drained more reliably to our drain.

I also noticed a small patch where the water was cutting its own channel instead of flowing to our culvert. So I filled in that one and dug a new channel.

In the afternoon, Gerald decided he'd better cut up some more firewood from some downed oaks on our meadow. Unfortunately, the chainsaw kept malfunctioning. We only got a few pieces cut.

But we took some of the smaller pieces and cut them on the saw.
