This the season to prepare for next winter. Most days that we set aside to bring in firewood we can cut and stack 2-3 trees in one morning. These past two weeks we have spent 2-3 days on the same tree! It is an 80 year old tree with a very big trunk as you can see from Makayla and Mindy sitting on them. We got almost an entire chord from that one tree alone (we burn 10-12 chord of wood per year to heat our house and hot water in the winter). It reminded me of a book that was read to us in elementary school called the Giving Tree. It was about a tree and how it gives and gives it's entire life, even in death it was able to give (firewood). :-)
Makayla counted down and finally celebrated her 6 year old birthday on the 13th. She is very excited to be able to say that she is six (up until a month ago her "six" sounded like "sick").
Have a great week!
