Nice woods
4:36 P.M.
32 F, Dark & cloudy, SSE wind 7 mph.
Another outside day draws to and end. A fairly lazy day for some reason. Not a whole lot accomplished to day.
I did managed to take a walk in the woods just as it was getting dark. With the snow one the ground, what there is of it, really opens up the sight lines in the woods. It really looks like a whole different world out there. Sure is easier to find the trees I need to cut down and the easiest path to get them in. I really was how stiff the soil has become in the last couple of days. The only places that showed water in my boot prints at the edge of the standing water, which is now frozen. It takes a bit longer for the sponge areas at the edges. Even the sounds of the woods have changed with the snow. Most things are a lot quieter, until you take a step with the present crusty snow, and it is much easier to hear the critters - rather than the leaves blowing. As the snow cover increases, so does the beauty.
I just had to take some time out to watch one of Wisconsin Public Television's programs, "Discover Wisconsin", about Algoma. It was really interesting and looks to have been put together within the last year. You can find the website for the program and even a clip from the show, at:

Check it out.
Margriet has meat balls over noodles for supper and they sure smell good. Hope she made enough! She also built a Swedish Church Bread for tomorrow's coffee after church. Of course I will take any and all good compliments!
It is interesting to look at the webcam from Enschede (http://www.enschede.nl/SPY/CamPage.htm). The 8" of snow sure has slowed things down there. Almost no one is in the square most of the time. Still no snowplows either. It appears to be a very wet snow, sticking to the trees.
All of the wood I had cut and split is now stacked and ready for use. When I finished yesterday, I tried to put the canvas tarp back over the splitter, I discovered that I had piled about half of the wood on the tarp. Had to make do with some plastic tarps, until I got it stacked. More to cut and split soon too.
Guess it is time to end. Have a good one.
