Yeah, okay, so if you're reading this blog hoping for a topic on gore and dismemberment, here's a heads up, it's not. I just like to cut trees into smaller chunks. But I really, really like it. It makes me smile.
Now that it is autumn I can venture in to the woods out back of my house without getting the tar kicked out of me by nettles and burrs and I can actually see the fallen trees. Yay for fallen trees.
Last year for christmas, my dad gave me two brand new chainsaw chains. One of which I tested out mid-winter (like a hot knife through butter).
This autumn I hope to get enough wood cut to last through till spring. Far too often I have to tromp through deep drifts with a giant tree over my shoulder and the butt of the log wedged into a sled. Not easy.
Now that my son is in school, I will have more time on my hands, time to stuff the woodbox full of fresh, spicy ash logs, a hot bevie beside me, and my laptop open to a word document of my choice. Wow!! See, this blog IS about writing. It's a big set up to get to the point of writing, but there it is.
Other things I intend to do with some of my new found freedom er, time… visit other author blogs! It's something I think about doing most days but can never quite take the time or space to just read blogs and comment. So, now I will.

So glad you have the extra time now. I miss having a fireplace. The only think I liked about the winters. lol
I'd be morose without a fireplace. I even want a second one, in our bedroom. I love winter (not blizzards while I'm driving on the highway) but otherwise, heck yeah! Snowdrifts, skipants, going flopbot into them, bonfires on the frozen creek, skiing, sweaters! Oh my. Hot weather makes me surly, lol.
You make me crave winter so badly. Not that we get snow where I live. But I want rain and cold weather! It's still so dang hot!
