An afternoon in winter

Here are a few images to get the ball rolling, so to speak.  It's a cool winters day and we are gardening, which means chainsawing, burning and giving the yard a good seeing to. We felled a few old trees for some more wood to see us through these frosty nights. Burnt scrappy bits that have piled up in the yard since the summer storms.

The ash and burnt earth left behind will made a wonderful space for planting some watermelons and punkmelons in a few weeks.

I took a moment to catch the last of the afternoon light  in the garden.
