Checking Out The Queen

| Note the bare hands - the bees, Italian bees, are so gentle that she has decided that the easier working with the frames is easier without gloves (and Photographer me didn't even bother to Veil up) |
Working ON Winter 2014/15

| freshly split wood at the right - this is only semi-split - I split it this far for easy handling and easy seasoning and get back to it later to do the final splitting before I pile it under the roof of the rick. |
Neighbor had two large oak trees cut down and were happy to have me come in and cut them up and clear them out - this is the smaller of the two - about a cord or so including the fresh wood at the back of the wood rick - got started on the second larger tree and after doing the limbs and then cutting the length in chunks, almost through to the ground but not quite, I suddenly found that my Stihl was either running underpowered or the chain had some mysterious illness so have to solve that and get back to the tough job of cutting the final several inches without running the chain into the ground or binding the saw - then the splitting with a maul so that I can load and haul the wood home.
