    Hit 1700 today, hope all are having a good summer so far. I myself have been very busy, chores and work and TREE REMOVALS .......with a little play time here and there...

    Hope everyone has been hoarding up some wood this summer, burning season is around 8 weeks away here in central PA!!!

    8 weeks, not that long. Noticing a pretty good difference in the amount of daylight hours already. Fall will be here soon!

    I haven't hoarded 1 stick this summer, but I think I'll be alright. Who would have thought in 2013 we'd come this far.......Thanks and well wishes to all the family here.

    Right where I want to be.
    WooHoo....1700!
    Was thinking this a.m. that burning may commence in as little as 6 weeks.
    I've got lots of firewood to get.......and move.

    Last year I actually marked my IPad calendar when I had my first fire, it was 9/13 which sounds early.

    I love Summer. I'll be sad to see it go, but it's inevitable.

    When summer goes away, it's again time to make firewood.

    This fall, I get ahead on firewood, a first for me. Hopefully i get up through 17/18 season wood for me.

    Way to go everyone. I am surprised how active FHC remained throughout the summer. It will be time soon enough to get into the next gear for winter prep. I'm looking forward to the fall threads - garden harvesting, canning, hunting and of course stacking wood to winter quarters.

    I believe that the reason it has been so active all summer is because we have a unique group of folks who enjoy many of the same things and the same adventures of everyday life. This is a form of social media with a "down home" twist where the folks participating are not out to being "all about me", but are more about "us" the folks here @ FHC. Fantastic members on a well moderated site. Kinda like the good old days when folks used to meet @ the general store, sit around the pot-bellied stove after slicing off a hunk of cheese from the block on the counter, and discuss the current events as they applied to them....................Sure love this spot........................:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

    I just leave the fhc page open on my phone. Haven't closed it in a very long time. This is a very unique, awesome place. Good folks, and lots to learn. Thanks for all you do!

    Could you imagine a GTG with all 1700 members! I wonder if Dexter has enough room for all of us?

    I just read her all these posts... and Mrs. Dex just said "Bring it on"!!!! :)

    As stated above, this is a unique place that has very loyal members who all share lots of interests. We have several sub forums for when we all are not burning a solid fuel (wood, pellets, coal, corn, etc), which keeps us plenty busy.

    Thanks to all of you members, who make this the wonderful place that it has grown to be!! :thumbs:

    We have come a long way, glad to be a part of it, the laid back atmosphere is the best:thumbs::):rootintootin:
    It seems like people here had the same parents I did, they taught me early on, if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything:)
