We ordered a third load plus some lengths of timber for Doug to make picture frames and were expecting to wait a week or two for that to be delivered but got a call the following afternoon and had the delivery. As it was late in the afternoon we just stacked a small amount and did most of it on Friday. We were both tired at the end of it but it was a good tiredness. The timber delivered for Doug was Redwood.
Just a part of the timber stacked in the shed
The containers of the smaller wood stacked three deep in another shed. I was running out of containers hence the polystyrene one in the front. There were also about half a dozen containers of the very small wood at the bottom of the first photo.
It is really starting to feel like autumn and this morning when we got up at 6 a.m. to go to the Market it was quite chilly and dark. By the time we arrived at the Market it was light. Our vegetable garden is starting to wind down with only a few beans and tomatoes left now apart from one Russian Red tomato that is just starting to turn colour so we bought quite a variety.
Today we bought leeks, a couple of Buttercup squash, a small broccoli, some figs, a bunch of bananas (we have three bunches on ours but they are not ready yet), a new to us variety of plum, some Asian aubergine, blueberries, Reed avocadoes, 500 gm. tomatoes and a tray of free range eggs. Our diet has already changed from our summer diet.
There's no better feeling than a shed filled with nice dry wood (ready cut).
ReplyDeleteYes, it is very satisfying
DeleteDown here too, our firewood is stacked, one more load to come this week. Meals are changing, like yours, hot veges, our tomatoes are finished apart from a stray plant in the flower garden with small yellow ones. But the vege beds with netting over fibreglass poles bent into the wood frame are doing so well, almost like a mini climate.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you have in your netted beds at present?
DeleteYou have, a good fresh varied diet. It's obviously perfect for you. You've both got a lot of strength
ReplyDeleteYes, we are both lucky to still be able to do what we do.
DeleteDefinitely autumnal
ReplyDeleteYes, quite chilly in the morning but 25 degree high during the day.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks well organized. We just got a load of firewood delivered last week, apart from a full woodbox of driftwood I think it will do us nicely.
ReplyDeleteBeing retired we have the fire going most of the time and we both hate being cold. :)
DeleteYou eat well. :) All that firewood should keep you warm and toasty and you swing into cooler weather.
