Mischief Monday - Too Much Work

 Dear pals,

After waiting to the point it stressed our Lady and Man out, the last big step for winter prep happened unexpectedly yesterday. 

We got to go out the back under the deck because 

we had some of our very favourite people visiting. 

Two of Callie's kids took the job of delivering our fire wood. It came over about 4 hours of work, in about 16 of these wagons. 

The kids filled the wagon in the lot on the far side of their house, then they drove it to our backyard where they threw it in the wood garage. 

We'd planned to bring those decorations in today but things change

Then our people piled the wood. This picture was taken early on, Lady didn't get an after, but it is solid wood up to the kayak. It was supposed to be 4 cords. Lady and Man had some left from last year, but we think, we got at least 5. 

We didn't stay out the entire time. We were bored and wandered off and Lady and Man wanted to get this job done all at once and not be chasing us around. Usually they do it over days. However, since they got some breaks between buckets, and all parties agreed to a lunch break, this likely worked out better. 

While we know D and M were paid for their work, Lady and Man tipped them because it was hard work moving all that wood and they never complained to us once. 

That was the last big winter prep. It is done and we are guessing Lady and Man are really sore today!
