    You don´t see that here. Maybe at my Parents in law, but... Corinna...
    Have a nice Sunday, Bill.

    I thought it was a pile of wood. I have never seen a pile of peat.
    Take care, have a happy new week!

    Don't think I have ever seen peat, but we do have two compost going in the back yard. Interesting photo!

    Wouldn’t have known it if I’d step in it.

      I would expect them to come back for it. It does take a lot of time to cut it all in to strips.

    En los largos paseos, se hacen buenos descubrimientos, que bien los puedes reflejar en las fotografías.

    When we were in Ireland we visited a place where we saw them cutting the peat. Hard work.

    Peat harvesting is not done here.

    Peat fascinates me. I toook any number of photos of it in Connemara when we were there, and was thrilled to stay in houses that burned it. Something so ancient and so homely about it.

    That's a nice picture - we have peat moss in the highlands on this Island.

    I've never seen peat! I had to google it!

    Love learning new things each time I visit your blog, Bill!

    Happy Monday!

    I'm sure someone will make good use of it Bill, especially as it's now winter ✨

    Love the scent of peat burning in the fireplace. I wonder who might own the peat.
