i came down to rhododendron leaves that look like tiny wires, they are so tightly curled against the cold.
here i was thinking...
'well maybe if i use the big crate as a sort of tobaggan i can get the soiled bedding down to the garden and the compost'
i don't think the hose or the ducks will make it outside today.. although if it goes get up above freezing i am going to risk both.
bernie is going to be shortly breaking into the last pile of wood we have. we've got pretty much all that's left of the big pile in the house right now. (does anyone remember when we broke into that one? i am hoping early december, cause then we should be ok)
i am really hoping that this pile will last us out the season, as if it doesn't we're screwed.
now for next heating season, i hope to have about 12 cords. as i want to make sure that we have very well seasoned stuff
i had wet wood at times this year and it wasn't pleasant.
i am also again getting up at night for an hour or so to stoke the stove, keeping the house warm all night
right now a duel fuel 72 hour on one fill furnace really is looking good
so is wind energy, as well as solar
anything to get a few more hours sleep
i got up at 7 however as i didn't think sleeping a few more hours would be good for me.........i may need it but then i'm kinda dopey all day.
right now, i still haven't had my coffee.
so forgive any grammar errors, mental errors etc.
and did i mention it's freeken cold out?
right?
ok i need coffee
