Have you ever wondered what a chipmunk

uses for nesting material? Apparently, the stuffing in our outdoor seat cushions. :O

Once again we have been bested. One of the winterization tasks that we have recently added to the list is to store cushions in some sort of air tight container. When you live in a four season environment, you have a list of prep tasks for the incoming season. Add having a flower, fruit, and vegetable garden and the list grows. Throw in some livestock for gits and shiggles just for that extra amount of work. ;) It's all good though.

Another item recently added to the winter list is removal of the horizontal bars on one of the split rail fences. The snow stack created from snow removal of the driveway put a lot of strain on the fence. As a result, some of the support bars split. Thankfully we have Jim and plenty of cedar for replacement.

Life here, as I have mentioned previously, is one continuous lesson. But I guess you could say that about life anywhere. I just never thought I would be outwitted by a chipmunk. Such is life.
