Consequently, Hubs decided something needed to be done because we would NOT resort to using the heater. Nope, no way. Not an option. Needless to say, the boys were much more inclined to turn that thermostat up a few notches than spend their weekend out in the windy tundra. But Daddy won that battle. Oh, and by "tundra", I mean close to 60 degrees and sunny. Lovely CA weather :).
Scout stayed in the truck the whole time. Just wanted to be near his boys |
It's all fun and games until your dad makes you sit in the back of the truck and stack firewood |
You can doooooo it |
Ethan so angelic in the sunlight |
Tossing more wood on his pile |
Hubs showing the boys how it's done |
Necessary maintenance on the chainsaw |
Love that you can see him splitting wood in the background :) |
The fruits of their labor |
Yes they were parked on a hill |
Attacking the next bunch of downed trees |
Peace Out :)
Oh I wish we had a fire place this winter! There is something so cozy about the crackling flames. And I believe it was Thomas Jefferson who said, "Chop your own firewood and it will warm you twice."
ReplyDeleteYes, the fireplace is SO wonderful. I don't know what I would do without it. Even now, I'm sitting on the couch next to the fire. There s just something the slight smokey smell of getting a fire started :). Us country folk really appreciate it. And yes, that quote is exceedingly fitting - and a good lesson for the boys :0
DeleteI love the photo of Ethan's "angelic" face...
ReplyDeletethe little devil in disguise!
Terrific photos all of them! But, that one of Ethan is pretty special... and the one of the wood with the chopping business in the background!
