Mischief Monday - Helping Out Around The House

While we have had a lot of wildlife mischief (mainly a mouse invasion - 7 caught and at least 1 more in the house), a pack of howling coyotes or wolves or our local hybrid coywolves, howling like we have never heard them in the 6 years we have lived out here, that lead to an aborted walk, and so many deer in the yard (sometimes 10). But we don't have pictures of any of this, so we will talk about how helpful we are at helping bring wood in.

The Lady and Man ordered 3 cords of wood and over 2 Sundays brought this in.

The process went like this:

Go to the wood pile,


 fill the wheelbarrow,



push it to the shed where you stack the wood.


We were very big helps. Lee, who had to be on tie out as the people couldn't watch her close enough, spent time getting tangled in the yard.



Phod spent his time trying to get someone to play Precious with him. 



This task is now done for the season. Soon we will get to enjoy cozy fires.

    With helpers like you, who needs bandits?! Now then. I am wondering if all that wildlife activity is a sign of a severe winter encroaching? Maybe another cord wouldn't go amiss??? hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx

  3. Yes of course you guys were a big help.
    Well done Lee and Phod.
    It is clearly only due to your efforts that your household will keep warm this winter.
    And don't let anyone say otherwise!

  5. Way to help out you guys!Yes, I think you'll be nice and toasty this winter. There are times when I miss the comfort of a nice fire and then the wood pile and keeping it maintained suddenly snap me into reality. Enjoy!

  8. If it weren't for you doggies, that wood never would've made it all inside stacked and ready. You kids were a HUGE help!
