Will Feral Cat

Some of you may have heard tales of the elusive Will Feral Cat. At long last your correspondent has obtained photographic evidence of his existence. And here it is:

I’m assuming Will is feral because he has no tag and is very skittish, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to him.

We’ve also started work on the cordwood bunkie / practice building. We are trying out three different mortar mixes and are now thinking to do a test patch of poplar wood. The experts say it’s good for cordwood building but the wood itself is rather unimpressive to us.
