Step one of making firewood.

This morning on the shop floor of the firewood factory:

There is just something I love about being out here in the woods while it's snowing. So peaceful and quiet.

Too much ice under the latest snowfall, can't get out in the woods. Got stuck within feet of the backyard.

Am still wondering when a certain slandered sister is going to finish getting a certain abandoned house ready for sale? I would think with all the 'helpful friends' she has that they would have done the work for her already. But, I have been over there three times in the last couple weeks to pump the flood out of the basement and not a single christian footprint on the doorstep. That's the trouble with christians; whine about everything, do nothing, and pray for somebody else to come along and take care of it for them....

Really, it isn't that I don't care, no wait......that's exactly what it is.

Wow! Almost hot out here in the woods. Not used to these short winters.

Today was another busy day. I'm about to set a milestone too. So far this winter I have sold 99 loads of wood. I've only got about enough left for one more load! I'll have to get out there in the woods and haul more up, whether it's below zero temps or not.
