113/365 - firewood
Every year - usually from fall until spring - we split and pile about 75 cords of firewood at the farm and sell it as a side hustle for some extra cash. Anybody who does this knows that it isn't really a small job and takes quite a bit of time and manpower. It would be easier getting the job done by using a wood splitting machine but silly husband of mine isn't ready to hang up his axe yet and continues to split it all by hand. Last years woodpile didn't get finished when he broke his back in March but when October came around he picked up that axe again and got right back at it. And yes, he was sore but he never complained about it because he said he felt better moving around than sitting around. This year there is less cords than usual (about 50 this year) but it’s ok to be slow and steady if you need to be. When this gets finished, which is soon, it will be time to get ready to start planting our crops.
I hope everyone has had a great weekend. Thanks for your visit.
