New chainsaw, Narnia frost, melting days, chickadees and grouse, dragging logs, admiring moss and lichens..
This is a taste of my life here in Western Alberta, Canada. It's been an interesting winter with a couple of rather long-but not extreme- cold spells, and even longer mild spells. Snowfall has been moderate, probably only about half normal.
You'll see me harvesting deadwood for firewood- a little saw drama- my chainsaw died just before the New Year- with a repair or replace bill I couldn't afford.. in the end I scraped together money for a smaller model- it's a bit more challenging/limited for larger trees (I won't be trying to drop anything large, I don't usually go for really big ones anyway, but there might be some 'medium' I'll skip) but it will still get me through.
February has continued with the financial challenges- car troubles compounded by making me miss work-but that's for another day..lol

Meanwhile we had beautiful frosty days, windy Chinook warm-ups and some cute bird visits. Winter days are focussed on cutting firewood, gathering branches for kindling, and just enjoying the season :)
Soon (?) we'll head into spring starting with Pussy Willows, Poplar Catkins, then wildflowers, rock gardens, and all the cool insects that come with them.

I'm working on a looong video summarising last year and plan to start doing some houseplant and cooking stuff when I get a shooting area set up.
Have a beautiful season and see you soon!
