Wood Splitting!

We go through a lot of wood in the winter, um, it gets cold here. Oil is expensive, as is electricity!

Since we are down to about one row of wood in our wood shed that holds about 4 chords I thought it was about time for us to start splitting the wood Jon and Blake have been off getting this spring.

My mother-in-law has told me many times that you can get a lot done in just an hour. So, with that in mind, I gathered up my troops (Blake,Kiley and Kalin) and headed out to chop some wood! We got about a row done in an hour of work. Plus we all got outside for some fresh air and a little sunshine.

It has been pretty busy around here with our travel schedules and other commitments but we are getting it done!

Jon said we just need to make sure to leave some wood for Bonnie when she is here in August. She might not want to stay for a month if we don't have wood for her to split for an hour every day.
Don't worry GB, we will have plenty for you to split!

No Kalin... you don't eat rocks!

What do you mean Mom? There is all this new hard dirty stuff everywhere and I can't put it in my mouth? You must be joking! I'm waiting for her to poop out a rock.... she has already pooped an entire can of mandarin oranges as well as the pit and stem of a cherry ($12 for a small bag, FYI).
Yes I think spring has finally hit Dillingham. We have had unbeatable, gorgeous weather for about 2 weeks now. I am not kidding. Jon is calling this our "summer", I so, so hope he is wrong.
