We got about a dozen squirrels round here. The dog likes to chase
them. One decided to move into the barn this year. Stays back in a
corner, hasn't hurt anything yet.

Here in Michigan, if a commercial orchard is sold off as residential
real
estate, the apple tress must all be taken down because the new home
owners
may not treat them with pesticide, thus unleashing an unwanted
insect
population. One of our boys bought a farmhouse that was originally
a
commercial orchard and they raised the orchard...hence...a lot of
apple
wood...we have a lot of oak around here but the big ones were all
lumbered
off 75-100 years ago...they are still trying to catch up with the
maple and
walnut population. I've been nursing along two oak trees since we
moved
here 23 years ago...one is finally big enough to produce acorns and
we had
our first squirrels move in this year. (I like squirrels, so that's
an ok
thing).

Apple? You cut down an apple tree? It's 95% oak here, with a
few
Maples. Burn the Oak.

Sure it does, you should check out the nice fire I have going
in
the
fireplace!


Is it a real fireplace with real firewood making a real fire?
Or
one
of those phony propane yuppie pretender fireplaces?
