Cutting logs down to size.
A growing pile of split wood. This is only a small percentage of how much wood we will need for the winter. Last year we used approximately 8 stacks this size. We still have a long way to go before we have enough for this winter.When the power company came through last year, to install a new power line to the property adjacent to us, they had to cut down trees on our side for the new line. We asked them to leave the cut trees and they did. We were over on the far edges of our land today, gathering the logs. There are a lot of trees cut there, and I hope that there will be enough for the season.

Ooo lawwdy a man with a chainsaw, bestow my heart!! I love that smell, chainsaw gas and oil and fresh cut wood MMmmmmm Jenny you bring out the country girl in me all the way down here. :) I remember gathering wood with my parents all summer and fall when I was a girl. They'd let me haul branches and sticks for kindling, I'll bet your girls do the same :)
Yes, I have used my heat a few times first thing in the morning already. Do you subscribe to the magazine "Country Woman"? A very colorful magazine, with lots of great recipes and down-home charm! I think you would like it!

Lindy-- I love the smell of fresh cut wwood! There is one kind, I think sarsparilla wood that just smells great! Husband and I are both sniffing it and if we were sniffing any harder, it would get inhaled! LOL
Lantana-- My Mom in Law subscribes to it and gives me the issues when she's gone with it. I enjoy reading them. I can relate to a lot of the articles.
This post brought back memories. man that is hard work but just the best feeling ever when the logs are all split and stacked. Archie is gorgeous.
