I need to rewatch Le Pacte des loups.

Wood is stacked and I have a batch of sauerkraut in the fermenter.

Morning wood. Mixed cord. Some alder and maple. Some fir.

The dogs are fed and the garden is watered. I made scrambled eggs and sourdough toast for breakfast. Think I’ll take my best dog down to the water and look at boats. Today would have been my dad’s 91st birthday and he liked being on the water.

Who else is done with summer? I’m ready for a fire in the fireplace, sideways rain and some stew on the stove.

It’s cool out for summer. Weather station says 67. Dogs are chewing bully sticks. I made a batch of freezer garbage chicken stock.
