What a busy fall and winter we have had! With our german shepherd on knee surgery number two, work, the holidays, and getting ready for our little Savannah (yep, baby Stinson is a girl) to arrive, we haven't had much time to write about our sustainable living endeavors. Those endeavors have not fallen to the back burner though, like our writing evidently has.

| Labor intensive bonfire/soon to be orchard |
After a scorching summer many of our trees died and Kenn has been endlessly chainsawing to get them all down before the next wind storm. Good news for us, this provides for a lot of firewood and an empty space for what will be an orchard in the spring. Bad news for me, this equals a lot of property cleanup for a five month pregnant me. Having a bonfire has never felt so labor intensive!

| Kenn hauling rounders to the woodshed |
Since Kenn won't let me chop wood in my pregnant state, I've been banished to the woodshed. He chops, I stack. We were able to sell all of our firewood out of the shed over the summer for some extra cash, which was great. Procrastinating with refilling the shed over the summer wasn't as great of an idea. We're trying to get caught up so we can keep our house cozy warm this winter. Some good progress was made today!
