It’s 45 degrees here in Massachusetts, and we’re expecting a delivery of firewood next week. Most of the leaves are gone, and sunset should be at 4:32.

We are at dusk, and almost dark. Temp is now down to 50 degrees. We had sale on turkeys this week for 79 cents per pound. So we are buying several. We will pressure can some, and roast one for Thanks giving.

Gah! I just got a delivery of firewood. Right on top of my beloved old sedan. I was heartbroken, and it took several days to clear away all of the limbs and branches. Maple, and so it will burn real nice when it’s seasoned.

I will miss that car!

The insurance company stepped up waaaayyyy more than I expected though. Some of that money will be used to bring the rest of that tree down, and we will also have the value of the wood. About $700 we won’t have to spend on firewood! Added to the wood from a neighbors tree that was struck by lightening 2 years ago, and we won’t have had to buy wood for four years!

But I really loved that old car ... :(
