I was lucky enough to grow up with a wood stove in our house and the smell of the smoke and the sight of it coming out of the chimney will forever be a comfort to me. Cozying up by the fire is one of the best ways to spend a winter evening and for that we need wood . . . lots and lots of it. We now use a wood splitter to ease the task of chopping all that wood and it's an ongoing project to make sure we have enough. We will need even more this year because we are planning on sugaring in the spring which uses an incredible amount of firewood to keep that constant hot fire burning.
Remember that compost I was telling you about? Here is Terry in action adding a layer of leaves to the pile.
We were able to harvest the last bit of the kale and then pulled it out of the ground. The stems will be composted of course.
Can't get enough of the beautiful fall colors...
