Good to have an "outside day"

Tromped the woods a bit
Hauled out the saws, felled a few dead pines
Ongoing process of thinning the stand of "standing dead" ... any without living tops. Often the skinniest in the stand.

First, the beetles that likely killed them don't like them on the ground, second, return their nutrients to the soil.

Later, gathered up some wild leeks for Sunday breakfast.
They seem to still be on the small side.
