Finally some frost again! A good day in the woods.

We are finally finished clearing the pasture all the way up to the old stone fence! But the fence was only used to keep the animals away from the winter feed. Now we continue thinning out the silvopasture on the backside, which goes several hundred meters until the next stone fence. Many years left of the most meaningful work in the world💪

Another day of hauling. Went from -17°C to +5 in one day. Hope we get some more cold weather so we can get the rest of the logs out!

The sows get to eat our christmas tree now :)

Great day to haul some logs

Went to the New Years concert in Oslo yesterday, where they as always played sound music. Among my favorites from this years concert was «Gold und Silber» op. 79 by Franz Lehár. Give it a listen if you haven’t:

Carved this bird feeder with a chainsaw for my grandfathers 79th birthday.

My chainsaw disappeared during a short lunch break.

Nostr is really growing on me lately.

My secret ingredient for deep umami flavoured stews: Black trumpet mushroom spice. Really easy to make: Just find them (they are very rare), dry them and grind them. Lasts for decades if kept dry! #foodstr

Fine grinding has started. GF got knocked to the floor a few times by the machine, but it’s getting there😂 View quoted note →
