Warming Myself with My Winter Wood.......

They say that when you burn with wood it warms you more than once, well I've been outside letting it warm me for the first time.   At the beginning of the week if the weather holds out we will be "enjoying" round two and three of the warming, splitting and stacking, LOL.  Our sons help with the big stuff, I know my limits, even though I sometimes test them!  Here is what the pile looks like now.......

The splitter is going to get moved next to the pile, NO I will NOT be splitting by hand, I am not Paula Bunyan, LOL.   Here is the lovely pile of brush that has to be chipped......
 
I did get an early Christmas present on Thursday, it's a helmet......I might have to have hubby take a photo of me all decked out!

The price we pay to stay beautiful, LOL!!

I think later next week I will have "earned" a few quilting days, what do you think?  Gotta get moving, I want to stop at Kathie's to see my Storybook quilt displayed, then back to work.

  1. Wood does warm you many times before it's all said and done! Love the helmet! :0)

  2. Although it is a lot of work it will sure cut down on heating bills. I wish we could have a wood burning fireplace. Maybe someday ......

I really enjoy hearing your comments, sorry I had to turn on the "word verification" but I got my first comment from a "non-person".......I prefer comments from people.
