I noticed flames showing at the base of the chimney where it connects to the stove.That was not good. With colder temperatures upon us, I didn’t want to wait to get it fixed, so took the time to get it taken care of before we end up killing ourselves.

Building garlic beds
I’m not sure how it happened, but Fall got here before I realized it.I’m not sure why since it happens the same time every year, but I just wasn’t ready. After much discussion, we decided we’d plant the garlic at the cabin this year instead of at our main house. The hopes is to be
