I have my Winter's wood supply in the woodshed to keep it dry, but now every weekend I use my truck to haul enough wood to the house for the week. I used to also have to haul some to my shop, but I built a wood-rack that last year held enough wood for the Winter.
I normally do not let it freeze in the shop, but this year it is more important because I had to move my potatoes, onions, shallots, winter squash, cabbage and apples to the shop because we had to move furniture into the garage where I normally store my vegetables. I am looking forward to this tile work to be finished in the front half of the house because it is the most disruptive space to have limited access.
I also have finished putting up my winter's meat supply. Actually it should last until next Fall. I am only waiting to have my sausage finished. That I leave to the experts.
As I can find the time I want to start straightening up my shop and make room to work on some woodworking projects. I have not had the time over the last couple of years, but I am hoping that changes this winter.
Well that is enough chit-chat. It is time to move on to some photographs. The first one in today's post was taken by my wife with the older Canon PowerShot camera. I cropped the photo so as to bring the butterfly and the flower closer to the viewer. I do not know what flower it is. The butterfly looks like a type of Swallowtail, but no guarantees on that:
This next flower was one I photographed a few years ago on a cruise to Mexico.
I am not sure if I posted a photo of two of my dogs (Sheba & Sahara)...They usually go with me when I go hiking. Actually they want to go everywhere with me.
Here is a patch of Oregano that has been growing for over a decade. At one time I had a good size herb garden with annuals and perennials, but over the years I ran out of time to keep it going. In time I hope to get back to expanding into other herbs again.
I love looking out my back door at the scenery. It changes with the seasons and cloud formations.
This last flower I believe I used the photograph on Weku, but other variations here on Steemit.
I tried Dtube once and because my game camera tapes in .AVI I have to convert it to a different format in order to use on Dtube. When I do this it takes a 10 second clip and shortens it even more. Hopefully I will find a way around this but I did want to share a clip I got recently. This link will allow you to watch the 10 second clip of a Whitetail deer quite close up. Let me know what you think.
