Skiing on a beautiful March Day

Its that time of year....

On September 1st our family focus starts to change, the kids start to point out trees that have been cut or have fallen in the forest and we start to eye where our winter heat is going to come from! So we head down to the forest service office in Sparks, NV and purchase our wood cutting permits, then each and every weekend we go out and comb the forest floor for trees to cut up and stack. Last year we were able to heat our house all winter with wood alone! It is a substantial savings over our propane heat option!

So here is what we got yesterday! After carrying, pushing and rolling the first 9 up to the truck Hunter and I could do no more! So Craig had to carry the last 5 himself, seeing as they were getting progressively bigger as we got to the bottom of the trunk!

This should be about 1 months worth!
