A delay for recovery

In the middle of the tree felling exercise I've gone and damaged my left foot. The fifth metatarsal is fractured near the tuberosity and I'm not able to move about very well. It doesn't matter much because it's only March and I can go on cutting until the end of April. But the snow may be gone by then making it more difficult.

The clear-cutting on our border has been done and the story is here:

The machine is GPS controlled and was able to work very close to the border. The position of each tree cut is logged, for research purposes I suppose. The three deer that had taken up residence in our tiny forest have not returned. I guess the noise and activity was too much for them.

The huge stacks of logs are still lying in the field and unless they are taken away soon the ground will become too soft for the trucks.
