Timber… Or winters comin’ time to start chopping and stacking firewood.
That is right campers. This weekend I am going to get off my lazy but and start cutting wood that I should have cut this spring. I just wanted to know which trees had survived the late frost. Good news is that I am going to have some nice apple wood for the stove. Bad news is that I wont get any apples from those trees again. Ill be perfectly honest. I am not going to lie I dont like chopping firewood but my buddy Dustin does, his wife thinks it is sexy watching her man swing the maul like Paul Bunyan so perhaps I can sucker…. I mean ask for his assistance in splitting the wood I am going to cut tomorrow and Sunday.
I have a couple trees along the fence rows that need to be taken out before they take out my fence. If I don’t have much wood out of that the Chief offered earlier this year that I was welcome to some treetops that he has from logging some of his woodlot last year. It should be all nice and dry not to mention that he has a tractor powered splitter. There is just something about fall wet days that gets me ready for winter. And yes the hay has already been brought in and I oiled the pump on the boiler already.
Oh and here is a bonus recipe to get y’all salivating for deer season.
