Weather Changes

It looks like Fall is definitely on the way out here in the woods.

There has been a good bit of rain lately, and it is cooling off at night.
In fact it has been cool enough for a bit of a fire on a couple of mornings.
And morning fires need firewood.
The Fuzz has cut a little, and there is a wee bit left from last year.
But certainly not enough to make it through the winter.  So The Fuzz did make a survey of the grounds, and found a few candidates for the fire.

The thing is to locate and mark the dead or dying ones.  One can look up to the treetops and find the ones without leaves.  This has to be done before they fall, of course.

This one is definitely on the way out.  Actually, The Fuzz has had his eye on this one for a couple of years now.  It looks like this might be the year for it.

Once the tree is selected, it is marked.  This makes it easier to find once the rest of the leaves have fallen.

Of course the hard work is still ahead.
