Today I cut up trees.
Our house sits on a lot that is almost two full acres. As I have mentioned before our yard, front
and back, is almost a full acre that leave an acre of forest behind our fence. Today we are doing an oyster roast and we
needed wood for our fire pit.
First I had to harvest the trees. I rounded up about 10
dead pines that were 12 to 15 feet long and not exactly light. I carried them out of the woods and proceeded
to cut them. I had planned on trying to
jog again afterwards but, believe me, after two hours of cutting wood for a
fire you are going to get tired.
I literally had a pile of wood three feet high and almost
three feet high. In addition is also did
some tree trimming since I had the ole chainsaw out. So I was going up and down the ladder. I didn’t have the energy left to jog let
alone walk.
Kelly took down our raised bed herb garden. It wasn’t in a good spot and after two years
of disappointment we decided to take it down.
It was 15 cubic feet of dirt that had to be moved approx. 50 feet to our
garden. She was worn out as well.
It was a beautiful night for a fire though and the family
sat outside roasting oysters. It was
worth all the work.
Daily Recap:
Matt: 2 hours of yard work
Kelly: 2 hours of yard work too.
