We recently bought two needed items
for our little house in the big woods.
A wood chipper to create mulch from our
downed trees and a metal shelving unit.
Our neighbor down the lane recently got
a new tractor. Guess who helped us load
in the wood chipper and unit into our
garage? Yup, the nice neighbor with the
tractor. In exchange for his time and his
tractor, we offered him the use of our
chipper when he needs it and three bags
of toys and clothing for his tiny little son
who is a bit younger than our bigger little
grandson. A perfect exchange that made
everyone happy. He's talked us into getting
a second shelving unit which I'm checking
today to see if they are still on sale and we
will then use his tractor and his time again
for a wonderful cooked dinner this time.
This is when I truly love the country.
After the second shelf arrives and is loaded
in, there is only one more big item we need
for our little house in the big woods ~ a small
freezer for the garage. We ordered one the
other day and it's set to be delivered on
October 20th. We're now just figuring out
where it will go and what we'll stock it with.
Then we'll be all ready for our long Winter.
Have you started getting ready for Winter?
What kind of prep do you need to do?
