Today, Flag Day, finds me relaxing peacefully. I am reflecting upon Old Glory and the freedoms that I enjoy, thanks to men and women standing guard while I sleep. I took my turn and I salute those in uniform and thank the veterans. I am also feeling good about yesterday’s accomplished work.
We started cutting and splitting sugarwood yesterday morning and by late afternoon, we had finished the logs that I had piled up. The horses and I have been busy dragging wood. The skidsteer allowed me to make a big pile right next to the sugarhouse. We set the log splitter up right at the woodshed. This made the job go very quickly and allowed us to work mostly in the shade 😮
I will finish this job by lunchtime Tuesday, rain or shine , no matter what! I need to get it finished so that I can start on the wood for maple season 2017. I will be wonderful to finally be a whole year ahead. I also have a good start on fireplace wood for my sister and the father of an old friend. So, as I wait for dry weather to begin making hay, I can celebrate my progress thus far working on firewood!
