Chop Wood Carry Water.




I love  February chores. This is a time of year when the promise of spring is starting to show herself. The cold, clear, crisp days are always a reminder to me to get out and harvest wood for next years winter. This is a great way to stay warm and feel good about what you have done at the end of the day. . This is one of those musts for the self reliant farmer. If you don't do it you will suffer for it. So, even though sitting around drinking a cup of coffee sounds good in the moment, somehow you must dig deep within yourself to put on the jacket and muster up chain saw, tools, files, chains,wedges,bar oil and gas mix and head on out for some fun. Besides, there is always something endearing  about the smell of chainsaw and wood chips on your clothes, don't ya think?
