My day started about 5:45 a.m. Made a fresh pot of coffee and about 6:30 a.m. got a nice shot of the moon.
Then, about 7:10 a.m. the sun started to come up.
So, I grabbed a cup of coffee and went out on the porch and a movement on the lawn caught my eye.
Here he is gnawing on a couple of hot dogs I threw to him.
Then out of nowhere, I hear this awful loud noise and it was a squirrel on my overhang scolding the fox. I couldn't get a photo because he took off up to the roof real fast. But, my usual friends stopped by.
After all that excitement, I decided it would be a good day to cut wood. So, I sharpened my chainsaw and tightened up the bar and went out back to get started. Here is the pile I will cut today.
OK, now it's time to get busy.
This piece was a tough one, it was a double tree.
When I got done bucking the logs, I had to pick up the rounds and toss them over the big log pile so I could split them.
Yeah, that's a gas log splitter. As much as I like to split by hand which is done easier when the wood is frozen, using the splitter sure makes it way faster when it's warm like this. While I was splitting my buddy stopped by to see what I was up to.
Guess he wasn't to impressed with my work. Anyway, here is the end result of working at my age.
I hope you enjoyed my blog today. Tomorrow, back to cutting more wood and who knows what else. GOODNIGHT
