A time honored chore...
One of those old time honored chores, a trip to the wood shed.:( This shed is one of the most important structures on our farm. We cut on average 7-8 cords of wood every Fall for our winter heat. A HUGE money saver for us. Plus the trees we cut in the woods are dead or blown down trees which cuts down on dry brush. From here we store about a 1/2 cord in the garage for convenience which the "Hubby" usually keeps stocked. Unfortunately we went through quite a bit during the last cold snap so... I'm going to load a wheel barrow full for now, and when he gets home he can restock the garage.;)
Life here is always about planning and prepping ahead... Have to give credit to the two guys... Cutting the wood is the first step, unloading and splitting goes a lot faster when you have a log splitter and a assistant.
I remember those days of heating with wood and I know our sons remember all the chores stacking and hauling daily. But they sure did love stretching out by the wood stove before bed.

I also use a woodstove as my primary source of heat - it's a lot of work but so worth it!! My daughters have the chore of lugging the wood into the house, while I nag them about kicking off their shoes at the door - it's a constant battle!
