Winter Work

It's been kind of a strange winter with temperatures being unseasonably warm so far.  However, we've still had to have firewood to run two wood furnaces this winter, one for the mobile home and one for the house.  We've had paint, drywall mud, and other items in the house that we don't want to freeze, and he's had to have heat to work in the house too.  We have had a few colder snaps also.  In running both wood furnaces, we've definitely used some firewood this winter.  Of course, the three other households all use firewood too.  

Drone tries to help keep Sis & her hubby keep up, and the boys also work firewood with Dad.  He skidded some tree tops up the hill this past week.

Sis got herself a new toy:

She said she can run this one just fine:

In the meantime, Drone took advantage of the cold weather to butcher some of the werthered meat goats:

and so we spent yesterday cutting, grinding, and packaging more meat for the freezer.  Sis & Shanny came up to help, so there were four of us.  Many hands make lighter work.  We got it all done yesterday and most all of the cleanup too!  It's been a busy week.
