Windy enough out there that I think cutting wood is not a great idea (being under the trees, and with saw going so hearing 'cracks' is doubtful) and I worry a little in the house-- there are trees all around, close enough in some cases...
We'll see if settles a bit... I'll go out with camera at least in a while..

I've spent more time working on videos lately (still haven't got them all linked here) but I have still taken tons of photos...lol
Sunset a few days ago as I was wrapping up woodcutting..

We are standing in a cleared area, with trees not far away to each side, gradually farther away as you look ahead, with a stand closing the clearing in lower centre. The trees (a mix of spruce and bare poplar) are silhouetted against the sunset sky and form nearly a semi-circle, framing the sky in the centre and top. From lower right, which is northwest, comes a wide swathe of thick cloud- richly textured with rather fine bubbles and pillows and wisps. The cloud is sunset tinted coral, with deep blue grey shadows and seems about to erase the remaining patch of blue sky at lower left.

New Year- Dead Chain Saw- Hand Sawing!


Hope you are having a good day, or at least a day of growth!

I can't blame to poor old saw for needing some attention-- it's had years of hard use-- so I wasn't too surprised when I took it in for one issue, and there was a whole list of things it needed. $480+ to fix it, $580+ for a new one-- not right now, that's for sure! They have a smaller model (still a good brand- no point getting a really cheap one that is just meant for light backyard work) that would be around $280 with tax, I think.. probably have to go that route, already a stretch, but some other bills will just have to wait-- can't really go through an Alberta January, February, March without heat in the house!

I mentioned troubles with my chainsaw ( I got the smaller one as a replacement, that's coming up..)- here's a short video showing some of the handsawing we used while without the chainsaw!

I'm (old white guy in blackish winter work clothes) standing in a snowy work area with a few blue plastic tarps around, a wooden bench I use to cut wood, and a pile of smallish cut pieces of wood in front, woodland behind. The words Hope Your New Year is off to a good start! appear in red.

An old white guy (me) with a short mostly white goatee and glasses, in blackish hoody (with dark winter hat under the hood) and work pants and thin (faux) wooly gloves with a black and white snowflake pattern (you can't really see that in the photo). I'm standing near the camera, looking right at the viewer with a hint of a smile, holding a snow shovel, we see the greyish wooden shaft and red plastic handle. The image is framed with a similar red, and there are words which say 'Lots of Love to You for the New Year'

On the plus side the weather is (seasonally adjusted) mild this week. On the not so plus side chain saw is in for repairs- my options are a) nearly $500 and a week or so for parts to arrive or b) nearly $600 for a new saw. b would be the obvious choice, but I really don't have either of those sums..lol Asking them if there is a less complete repair that might get me a functional saw for another season or so...(this is to cut deadwood to heat the house).. wish me luck! #winter #CountryLiving

Next video in the series of 3 (which I think is going to be 4 in the end...) from Dec 24-25(26 is the extra, snow was pretty).
It was a little whiter each day, with light snowfalls + rime frost (frozen fog). This is the morning of Dec 25, on the acreage with some sun and blue skies to set off the white trees. YouTube link, Spectra to follow

Looking up at the tops of a couple of poplar trees. there are a number of thin upper trunks/branches reaching skyward, plae grey-green frost lightened, then many many fine short twigs in all directions, but tending to point upward. The twigs are all coated in frost crystals, and maybe a bit of fine snow, so they appear mostly white with just a bit of darker undersides showing to highlight the structure. The white branches are set off againts a clear blue sky.

A short video from late afternoon (close to sunset) of Dec 24- after I washed the floors and showered, and before I started cooking! It was around -21c/-6F and snowing lightly but not windy, so it wasn't bad. First of 3 shorts - the next two show pretty frost and light on Dec 25-- stilll working on those..

Old white guy (me) in a very puffy dark brown coat with a big hood, blackish pants and insulated rubber boots walking-leaning forward a bit- on a snowcovered path between trees, coming toward the camera. We see base to middle of the trees which are a mix of poplar, spruce and a couple of birch, along with native shrubs and saplings at ground level, all dressed with snow which is still falling. It is near sunset which we can't see but the light is dull.
