Time Change & Wood Workings

 

We set our clocks back one hour this past weekend and it seems to have thrown me off kilter . I don't like having less day light , usually by the time I get used to the time change its then time to move the clocks forward which that I don't mind more day light . Day Light Saving  , Spring forward  ,Fall back what an appropriate phrase .

Papa was in his work shop yesterday finishing up a project he was doing for a fellow at his work. This fellow saw my Tater & Onion box that Papa had made for me via our blog and wanted one so Papa has been busy finishing it up . He is going to leave it unpainted as this fellows wife wants to do her own painting of it.

Finished Our Yard Clean Up

 

Yesterday Papa and I continued with the rest of our yard work . The gardens are now bare .

Papa got the tractor out and picked up more of the leaves mulched them as they went into the baggers instead of raking them up, it was faster and easier  then we burned them in the fire pit. I love the smell of a fire pit going in the fresh cool fall air. The weather was nice , sunny a little chilly but great for working outdoors.

                       I decided to take some photos as it was such a nice day !

  After all the leaves were burnt Papa got some of the scrap wood from his work shop and put it in the fire pit. We just stood around the fire and enjoyed the sunny weather and the wonderful smell from the fire, fresh air and the sounds of nature around the Cove.

It is another beautiful sunny fall day today  and we just finished storing the rest of the patio furniture and the solar garden lamps and brought some wood up to the house for our wood stove. Now Papa is in his work shop finishing up a project that he has built for a guy from his work . Then we will relax and enjoy the rest of the beautiful day.

                                 Until next time , hope you have a great day !
