‘Tis the season

Chop your own wood and it will warm you twice.

Old Proverb

We’ve been busy this summer working and doing everything else so our woodshed is looking pretty empty. For the last two Sundays we’ve been felling beetle kill at an elder friend’s house. Both to keep her safe and fill our heating needs. It’s a win-win.

Everyone helps, in some way or another. But of course it’s the biggest and strongest who do most of the work.

Teamwork makes the dream work.

We’ve dropped 7 trees at her place, with a couple more to go. Those beetles have been busy. That has given us with a full cord and a half. 5 more cord to go. It takes a lot to heat this big old house when it gets cold.
