"Today is your day, your mountain is waiting, so get on your way." ~ Dr. Seuss
Sometimes a mountain woman just has to hang the apron on a hook, get out of the kitchen, and tackle some outside chores. Actually, Sunday was such a gorgeous day that we spent most of it outside. There was a sharp nip to the air, but the temperature reached 57 and we were comfortable in our sweatshirts.
After the wedge splits and breaks a log most of the way through, I finish pulling the two halves apart and toss them into the wheel barrow. There is a cold front coming through today, Monday, and the temperatures will rapidly be dropping from mid-50's to the teens. Sunday we split and stacked plenty of wood on the porch to keep the wood stove burning through this cold spell. I found some new winter soups to try.

"Dagwood" showed me how to safely use the log splitter.
