the French supposedly make it
Saturday, November 5 2016
[REDACTED]
The Saturday morning coffee today was uncommonly good, perhaps because the machine-made coffee I'd become accustomed to on the Scenic Sapphire just can't compete with coffee made in a french press. Oh the irony; I have to leave France before so my coffee can be made the way the French supposedly make it.
This afternoon, I used my small (Greenworks) battery-powered chainsaw to cut down a number of white pine saplings on or near the septic field. This is something I do every year to keep conditions somewhat open down there. At some point I'm going to have to start cutting the tops off of some of the larger saplings, especially when they threaten to block sunlight from the greenhouse. I want them to grow tall enough to block views of the downhill neighbors' house, but I don't want them so tall that they keep the greenhouse from functioning as a greenhouse. As always, I disposed the cut-down saplings by leaning them against the brush pile just north of the greenhouse, where years of the dried remains of earlier saplings form a loose mound perfect for rabbits and chipmunks to hide in.
