A Day at the Beech

No Comments
A Day at the Beech

So, it’s probably not the first thing You think of, when you hear we had a A Day at the Beech! However, it is exactly what I did today! From cutting it down with my Stihl Chainsaw to cutting it up, loading it on the truck, and piling it up! One Day, One Tree, and about Half a Cord of Fire Wood. Now, if I can do it seventeen more times, I’ll have our Winter’s Fire Wood.

Last Year was the first year I did our own firewood! We used our kitchen enterprise stove, and had furnace oil and electric backup. This year we plan to have a living room stove and burning both stoves to help eliminate the oil and electric which are already too expensive! 

Thirty years ago, I was a weakling, and my self image was just as weak! I knew I was a weakling and, “I couldn’t do it!” Now, thirty years later, having worked on my self esteem, and in more recent years my physical self, now I’ll tackle about anything! 

As a result, I love working in the wood, and the sense of self esteem and accomplishment that comes from processing one’s own fuel, and food from our gardens, is fun and rewarding. If you’d like to have some fun, and join in, call Brian at 902-907-0770

Floundering at Briden Farm

No Comments
Flounder Fishing

Ok, so it’s not as bad as it sounds! Nor is it exactly at Briden Farm! However, recently, we did take a day to go floundering, or flounder fishing! It’s something we both really enjoy and we were accompanied by some new friends. Being a fourth generation Guide it’s rewarding not only to catch some fish, and put some in the freezer for winter, but also to see others catch them as well. The photo above is from those our friends took while we were fishing. 

The Video below is one I did, mostly silent, except for the Chicks chirping in the background! The video is very graphic and shows how I fillet flounder. It really gets to the guts of the matter! So not for the faint of heart! 

Would You like to go Flounder Fishing? Hire us to go with you and teach You how we catch flounder. In our past two trips we’ve caught over a dozen flounder and got about 6 pounds of Fillets. We can’t promise the fish will bite, but it’s seldom we’re skunked. We fish an hour or two, take a lunch break and spend some time on the beach, and return to fish for a couple more hours. Interested? Want more info?
