This winter has been strange. Only one really cold snap, and otherwise mostly rainy and dreary. The ground is not frozen, and we’ve had several storms come through, resulting in four large trees falling, with one in the pond.
My little tractor and skid steer are no match for the one in the pond. That’s going to be a problem to get out. This week one tree fell into the meadow on the grass and took several smaller trees with it. This means a lot of chain-saw work and using the grapple on the skid steer to clean up all the broken branches and debris. My chainsaw is only an 18-inch bar, and all the trees are 36 inches or bigger.
If anyone wants some firewood and is willing to go mucking around in the woods to get it and cut it, you are welcome to it. Otherwise, it will be a working winter into spring to clean it all up.
