Energy saving...

FFF Photo a Day - Day 364

If there is a way to save some time and energy... we farmers will figure it out. 

With the help of some old cross country skis, Farmer Phil has rigged up a handy wood sled! 

Blood, sweat and tears - and blisters!

 

FFF Photo a Day - Day 26 

This picture is worth a lot of blood, sweat and tears! We used to have a ready source of wood from a relative's wooded lot! All the wood we could haul! It was great!

But now we keep our ear to the ground and listen for talk of clearing trees or lots where we might be able to get some free wood! 

We've been lucky over the past few years and have a good supply of aged wood ready to go. This Thanksgiving weekend we rented a log splitter and split everything we could over three days. 

Felt good to get it done but not so good at the same time!
