We have a wood burning stove as one way to heat our home. It is very efficient and burns a readily available fuel, firewood we cut on our property. This offers several benefits. The most obvious is a source of fuel for heating our home, but also is a means to clear dead trees from the property and reduce fire danger.
There are more dead trees than we can burn in several winters so we share the wood with our friends Gary and Rochelle. Today was the day they came up to cut wood.

It was a great day to be outside. A few remains of snow from the recent snow shower remained, but the sun was out and the temperature in the fifties.

We used an ATV and small trailer to move the firewood from the forest to Gary's trailer. This helped the job go fast.

Afterwards we enjoyed ham and bean soup and some good bread to celebrate the completion of the task.
