Well winter is fast approaching, expecting our first main fall of snow--that makes me wonder what kind of weather is falling in other regions--
years ago we would be readying the sleighs by getting them out of storage and drawing them on the bare gravel road to brighten up their bottom surfaces
at the same time we would get out our axes and crosscut saws, removing the rust if any had accumulated, and applying a light coat of oil
the next step was to walk to the bush lot and survey where we were going to cut our wood supply and obtain a few logs for lumber and timber
