Spring cleaning

All the firewood has been unloaded and split, and I finally got around to cutting down the weeping cherry tree that died right after Mom died. It was one of her favorite trees that we planted many years ago. Not really thinking, I cut the short trunk into logs so I could split it up for firewood. When I split the first piece, the wood inside was so beautiful. I got 'creative' with the splitter and saved the core of two of the logs in order to make something with the wood, most likely something turned on the lathe. It only seems fair I guess.

The weather was so nice this weekend I did what I could outside. The nice vitamin D charge was welcome. Sometime this week I have to cut the grass for the first time this year. So begins a weekly chore until fall. The vehicles and most of the yard equipment will all get their spring maintenance regimen. I will start taking bids on the roofing work here, and get that out of the way too. The trailer needs some minor work due to the water freeze, and a good cleaning. I looking forward to the nice weather and the great outdoors. It does my body good. Although, with everything that has been going on the past three days, I'm pretty damn sore.

The workshop and the basement in general is slowly shaping up. Once it gets past the totally embarrassing stage, I will take some pictures to show some of my progress. The same goes with the garage. Some of my readership is wondering what the hell it is that I am talking about, and pictures seem to do the best at conveying this.

Off to bed for me. Long week.
