The peeing tree

After I saw this, I dropped the chainsaw and ran for the camera...

Wood-stock

With the many loads of firewood we got, we ran out of storage space and had to come up with some extra room. So we built this hopefully weatherproof, tent-like cube and stacked it all in there. By the way, did I thell you the story of the flat tire...
It happened in the middle of the forest. I already cut all the logs and was ready to load. It's just that the truck was so far away and the logs were rather on the heavy side. So I decided to bring the vehicle as close as possible and started backing up towards the logging area when I heard this Pffffffffffffffffffff!
With no spare tire on board I had no choice but to walk back home. I called my landlord and had to report the incident so he could recover his truck again. The flat tire story is no novelty, since it happened to me last winter during plowing the snow. And this was not my fault either, had he put on proper tires with the right amount of air.

The figureskating chicken

A fairly unusual event for our chickens, since they never saw snow or ice before. At first they felt somewhat uncomfortable with the white stuff underneath their claws. But they are getting used to novelties fairly quick and enjoy the slide on the ice.

The craziest Birthday card ever!

I think we have a new artist on our hands. We might save this card for the future, just in case he becomes famous. Thank you Sean and Josianne!
