Yesterday's gathering of old fallen down oak tree limbs has been cut into smaller pieces for the wood stove, either for this year or next. It took about 3 hours this morning for this chore. The wood pile is still looking good and only 1 or 2 more months left of burning. Usually by May the season for burning is over, with many days in between that are too warm for a fire all day. March is the month that gathering more wood for next winter begins. Saw some trees down in the back 40 with the huge Ponderosa Pine that is down from last January's 80 mile an hour winds.
The girls came up to visit and helped stack the wood on arrival. It is always appreciated when help arrives to lessen the amount of work. They left around 5 p.m. before dinner. Promising next time to come for a brunch.
Exhausted and hungry stumbled into the house for some nourishment, shower and shave. Felt better knowing it will be bed time soon.
