Mud Trails

Libby the jeep could not make it to the cabin today due to the mud and water run-off on the farm road into the hollow. Even with 4 WD low range she slid sideways and came close to hanging up below the pond levee. Once freed from the mire and safely on flat ground, I switched to the tractor for a trip back to the cabin. No sign of the free range goats today. Gun shots in the Scioto Trails was a stark reminder we're in the heart of deer gun season in Ohio. Hopefully, the goats escaped the gun fire. Once inside, I gave Beulah a rest and built a nice fire in the fireplace. It was 46 degrees inside when I arrived but 39 and falling outside. The insulation in the ceiling is making a significant difference retaining heat and helping warm the cabin quickly once a source is established. I finished another quart of stain putting a second coat on trim strips for top of ceiling under ridge beam and  the first coat applied on 10 more 10' ceiling boards.
