    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!
