We have had colder than usual temperatures for our neck of the woods. This means taking hot water out twice a day for the animals. It also means burning lots of firewood as our propane heat would have to run a LOT to keep the house comfortable. So we needed to cut some more firewood. There is plenty of it out there, lots of dead trees. So, today having the troops home was a good day to do the job. However, the kerosene heater would not run well to heat up the tractor which didn't want to start in the cold. So, we had to use a handpulled wagon to transport the wood. But we got the idea that we could use our living horsepower to help with the job. Gitano just could not handle that scary wagon that he was expected to pull. So, the three of us together pulled the wagon. One thing I know I need now is some insulated boots. I did wrap some wool around my feet and that did help. We did get enough wood for a few days and got a lot of exercise.
