An all home cooked meal will be provided by Jan, Pulled pork, chili, homemade bread, homemade corn bread, slaw and potato salad.
Be thankful Jan is cooking and not me!

We will have fresh spring water from the spring on the property. Coffee and soft drinks too.

Bring your favorite saw/saws to show off and use for making the firewood pile grow.
We will be cutting down a fair number of trees. Many are healthy, a few are in bad shape and some are dying. There are several trees that are already down that need to be cut up and a few with wind damage. They range in size from 4" to 35" in diameter.

If somebody has a chipper they could bring that would be great. We could sure use some mulch for around our berry plants.

Please RSVP by pm. I will provide the address and directions if needed.

Thank you we are looking forward to meeting you and learning from your experiences.

ps Tall tales are allowed during lunch.
pps We have arranged for overflow parking at a spot just down the road from our place.

Thanks again,

We have been busy cutting brush and pulling out downed trees to buck. The second photo is the area we would like to clear. The last two are big maple's that will be lots of fun. They are 3 to 4 feet in diameter.

Update:
The make shift lean we put up on the front of the cabin got lots of use yesterday. Heavy rain and lots of wind. The highlight was Jan’s big lunch and a day of tall tales. Hopefully if we have another go at it next year we can actually show off saws and cut wood.
