    Kids were busy with school activities so it was me and Emma this weekend working outside.
    Great weather and felt good to be out getting a few things done. Not a ton of wood, but it all adds up...

    Thought I would share a few pictures, of what we got accomplished. fixing a special Mother's Day dinner for mom tonight too. :)


    Finally finished this stack of Aspen next to the fire-pit...

    Finished this stack too. Red oak, white oak, red elm and maple, all dead standing small diameter trees. Had a Few dozen pieces left from last year (the dark ones) that are mixed in this stack too. Started using landscape timbers on top of my saplings to get a little height and maybe a little more stability to help prevent any stacks from tipping over. Time will tell.

    Finished building and putting up all my birdhouses.... I think 7 now. Who's that crazy old guy with all those birdhouses...? :whistle: :loco: :crazy: Sprayed all the grass and weeds in the driveway with Roundup and it ain't a short driveway. Washed the riding mower, Gator and even my splitter too. Mowed and weed wacked.

    Emma had a good weekend being outside all day... Kept me company too... :) Ready to crack a beer.

    Right where I want to be.
    Would have been much easier to list what you DIDN'T do.
    Of course, the pics would have been fairly boring.

    This is all I got done as far as firewood. Cut up a little beetle kill pine for the outdoor fire pit, and it was a good excuse to get out the 2159 and make some noise.

    I'm probably not the only one thinking it, but you may be eligible for "man of fewest words in a post" award.... I've been thinking about that for a while. Just checking to see that you were ok...:)
