Tractor Neighbors.

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?
