It's looking like Spring!

One large chicken egg with the goose eggs for comparison!

It is officially spring, the birds are singing, the sap just started to run (we tapped one tree this year), our geese have started laying eggs (and 1 duck)and it's mucky almost everywhere Yay! For those who are starting their own seedlings, now is the time to start tomatoes, peppers, etc wait a few more weeks before starting any squash, cucumbers etc. I am usually quite eager to get into the garden so I love my little indoor "greenhouse" it helps us get a good head start on the season.

Canola Oil Chainsaw Hack

We heat our house with wood. We believe in proper woodsmanship, full utilization, and only harvesting trees that are dead. This season we have been using Canola Oil instead of bar oil to lubricate the chain. It does a great job, is much more cost effective and is environmentally friendly! Now if a tree falls in our hay field we can cut it up without worrying about any of our animals eating hay that could potentially be contaminated with petroleum products etc. Wildlife coming in contact are also benefited. And inevitably saw dust gets in eyes, mouth and ears and I would rather it be processed with harmless canola oil! So far, the only negative is that Canola Oil freezes at -11 so it and the chainsaw  must be kept above that. We learnt that lesson the hard way, but fortunately didn't damage anything.
