    My 70 yr old Mom still helping me cut her own wood. She outworks most men I know. Found this blowed over Elm behind her house Saturday, so loaded up the saw and said lets go get a load. She was all for it and we had it cut and loaded in less than an hour in an off and on sprinkle of rain. She loaded all but the big heavy ones while I cut. She would kill me if she knew I posted this pic on line.

    A very youthful 70! Clearly staying active is the key. Great that you can work on firewood together. :yes:

    Good on her. Age is just a number. Hope I can firewood at 70...if I make it that far!

    Good for her and good that you are helping her. My wife had to stop with the big help when she hit her 80's. Until then she was a darned good help to me no matter what I was doing. I don't understand why more females don't help more, but then, I don't know why men don't help their woman more.
