Perry made several trips to cut up and haul away the hardwood trees that he will use for firewood.  (Chree and I already have many years supply of hardwood logs destined for our wood stove.)  While Perry was busy chain sawing, I started to dig out the stumps left from yesterday’s mutant ninja beaver attack.  Turns out winter isn’t quite over here in Vermont… the ground is still frozen (solid!!!!) from the surface down 6″.  I mean solid, like concrete.  Got a few stumps out where the sun has been penetrating, but the rest will have to wait for warmer weather… except for the largest stump (of course!) that appears to be wrapped around a monster boulder, both of which will need a non-Kubota excavator to dislodge.
