I heat with wood. Normally I go through a little over 2 cords of wood to heat my little cabin. This year, we barely burned a quarter cord.

Garden insect pests didn’t get killed off this year. Looks like the first to show themselves are cutworms eating the roots of early crops like broccoli.

Groundhogs are starting to show their sleepy little noggins already. Looks like it’s about time to start chasing my arch garden nemesis 😀
