We've had a couple of felled saplings next to the house since July that are too big for the loppers to cut down into firewood. (Feel free to come get them for yourself, lol!)Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081652747471904560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185545398642259021.post-26050835344470487842010-12-20T19:48:39.445-08:002010-12-20T19:48:39.445-08:00Wow!

If you're gonna be hiking in the woods, retrieving wood, those microspikes would give you lots more confindence about your footing.

I know what ...Glad to hear Arnold is doing better! I know what you mean about when one of the critters is sick, it just casts a shadow on things. Great job on the wood! I've found out that 'chain-sawing' is allot harder work than it looks. I buy most of my wood (have a great honest wood cutter/stacker), but when trees go down on the place they don't go to waste either and end up in the wood pile here. It's exhausting work, but very satisfying to see things getting cleaned up and put to good use.<br />Take care!<br />TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185545398642259021.post-58113125052248505632010-12-20T10:55:02.877-08:002010-12-20T10:55:02.877-08:00Ooo! puff puff!
