Getting Ready for Winter

I dread saying this, but winter is just around the corner. Can't fall just stay until March? I don't think I would tire of the glorious colors of the trees, bonfires, pumpkins, mums, football and hot chocolate. But I live in the midwest, so winter is inevitable. So to prepare for those cold nights and cozy Sunday afternoons watching football with a fire in the fireplace, we must split wood. Last year I called it Pioneer Days. This year I'll call it modern Pioneer Technology! I was so happy to be able to borrow a log splitter from our friends the Coopers. What a difference that machine makes!!

Me pushing the button, the splitter doing all the work


Logan and Isaiah burning limbs and leaves


Caught Isaiah's face in a sunflare

Ready for winter....now take your time getting here please!
