Happy Day, friends! The hard part is done, now for the fun part, stacking. That's about 4 1/2 cords that we processed in two days, from felling the striping the trees to splitting and hauling. 9 truckloads. #mountainlife

Husband remembers his dad sending him and his brother out to split wood with an axe. As soon as they left home, his dad purchased a log splitter. 😂

Oh, we use a log splitter as well. Makes it a LOT easier. The old way sure is a good work out though.

Husband's response to his father was, "Seriously, dad, after we moved out, you buy a log splitter?"

Years ago, when Robin and I lived in the village, we had Mona Lisa. She always helped stack the wood. Her favorite spot in the winter was in front of the wood stove. youtube.com/shorts/1pMfE...

Oh, she was special, and making herself so useful! I love her look, and your encouragement! Thank you for that, Jim! 😄

Mona Lisa is so special. She seems very happy to work that job wagging her tails while stacking the wood. 🫶👍😁

She was such a Diva. Robin took this one years ago and it shows how spoiled rotten she was.

Awwww... She deserves some TLC after all she's worked hard for her family. 😁

I lived in Tampa for 8 years when I was in my 20s. While I enjoyed it, I am not so sure that would be the case now.

The cool part about stacking is that if you don't do it right, you get to do it over...

That is a lesson that only needs to be learned once. Happy Day, friend! 😀

Dad hated making fires. I learned how to. But wood doesn't split itself. One day, after my team lost, I was mad. Mom told me to take it out on the woodpile. From that day forward, I'd split wood until I couldn't swing that axe no more. Dad never again bitched about the wood or the fireplace.
