The Third Log - A Pine
October.22.2010.
The third log is being worked on, this time it's a pine.
Picking up and transporting the log with the big John Deere.
The log being loaded to the sawmill.
The log loaded and rotated by hydrolic roller of the sawmill.
You can see a scratch mark from the rolling process.
So far, no human muscle required to handle the log
except for steering the tractor and pushing buttons on the mill.

Quiche Me Quick
10.20.2010.
A combination of Quiche Lorraine (bacon), Quiche au Fromage de Gruyere (Gruyere Cheese) from Julia Child, and Swiss Chard - Mushroom - White Cheddar Cheese Quiche from Martha's latest issue... and just because I have all the ingredients at the time. Spinach was used instead of swiss chard, gruyere cheese all the way, and the pie crusts were store bought. :)
