Firewood

Every year the long weekend in November (Remembrance Day weekend) is the set-time to bring in our 6 cords of firewood in the basement. So to keep tradition going, this past weekend we had work to do...

Dave putting extra air in the tires before getting started.

This was the scene Saturday morning before our first load = 6 cords of dry wood. This will be our heat energy for the Winter. I know, I know removing 6 cords of wood from the forest each year is not being good to Mother Earth but I hope she understands that we make up for this with other ''good green actions'' on our part. We had to stop bringing wood at noon because it started to rain.

Oh boy !!!!! this was the scene Sunday morning when we got up to bring in more wood. So Sunday was a lost day for us but we enjoyed indoor activities.

On to Monday ! We got up to a nice bright sun so after having a hearty breakfast we headed outside at 9 a.m. and worked on bringing in as much wood as possible up to 4 p.m. All the firewood that fits in the basement is in. We still have about half a cord outside but we have to burn part of what is in the basement in order to bring in what's outside.

Dave is enjoying a very much needed break with cookies and hot chocolate.

Yoga Booty Ballet, sounds like quite the workout. I'm sure Jayla enjoys it very much.
