GETTING WOOD AND UPDATE 14 FEB 13

We have been pretty busy around here lately.  Last Thursday we went skiing in some really good powder and neither Connie or I took a camera.  It was a last minute decision to go as they were not predicting so much snow, but when I called they said they had 6 inches and it was still snowing.  So we hurried around and fed the horses, loaded the Jeep and headed to Lost Trail.  Really great light powder and in some places by afternoon it was just about up to our knees.  Both were tired when we stopped.

Been cutting down a few trees and cutting them up for wood.  This will be heat for winter after next.  Next years is already split and stacked.  Zeph has been going with me and is a "logging" dog now.  He does not really care for all the noise when the tree falls though.  I have him tied up away from where I am dropping the trees until I get them on the ground and he is sure glad to get untied.  He likes riding on the front of the tractor going and coming though.

Coming back from getting some wood.
