Nothing better than free....

A month or so ago the power company cut a path under all the power lines. They delimbed all the trees they cut and chipped all the small stuff. We cut up the few trees they cut down in our yard. Lots of the neighbors have trees cut on their properties too that will probably be left to rot. Ryan stopped by some and asked if they knew who owned the property across from them. They told him a lady from Florida owns it and they watch the property for her. She hasn't been up in 4 or 5 years. Ryan asked if we could cut up and take the down trees for firewood. They appreciated that he asked. They were expecting someone to steal it during the night. There is quite a bit of hardwood. They gave Ryan permission to take it. We spent most of the day Saturday cutting wood, throwing it in the trailer, and hauling it home with the tractor. The boys had lots of fun helping and playing in the mud puddles. Danica took a long nap and played in the car for the little while she was awake.















And we added a new baby to the farm. Ryan brought it home in a gunny sack in his Saturn.
