Valentine's Day
Since the temperature had climbed to 55 degrees the only place there was
snow left was in the shadows. Linda was feeling a little bit sick, so
Stacey and I went to town. We ate at Subway and got a sandwich to take
home to Linda. Then we went to the video shack, but didn't find any
movies to rent, then over to Freds. After that we headed back home and
gave Linda a small heart shaped box of chocolate for Valentine's Day
along with her sandwich.
Later I went outside on the Mule and down
to the hay shed, hooked up the trailer, put the chainsaw in the back and
went up the hill to cut down a tree for firewood. I had picked a tree
that had been damaged by the wind and was nearly bent over to the
ground. It wasn't a real large tree and was fairly easy to cut the limbs
off and move the brush into the woods. Then I cut the larger sections
into pieces I could split with the log splitter. I loaded those pieces
on the trailer and headed to the hay shed. I set the log splitter up and
split a few pieces. The wood splits easy and will be good wood for
starting fires next season. I went back to the house just before dark
and fixed steaks for supper.
