Culling Trees / Building a Shed

Monday was another productive day.  Matt continued to cull trees that had been invaded by beetles.  These would then find their way to the wood pile to warm the house during Montana winters, which typically hover in the single digits.  And with all the culled wood there needed to be a wood shed to keep it dry.  So I started the preliminary framing of a small shed on the south side of the garage, to be completed in the next couple days.  Paula has been engrossed in the latest Elizabeth George Inspector Lynley novel, but did manage to break away long enough to create a tasty chili relleno casserole.  But it's not all work and no play on the ranch; we found time to shoot Matt's compund bow and practice with the 22 pistol and Gamo pellet rifle.  I'll have to do some serious upper body strengthening before I can be a contender with that bow.
