Last week Levi, Ethan and Anna came to help us put up firewood for this year. In 2 half days they helped us load, unload and stack 4 truckloads and 4 trailer loads of firewood. Not bad for a 7 year old, an 8 year old, a 10 year old and two "old timers". Tonight a neighbor gave us 2 (6 ton) dump truck loads of firewood. That motivated Dennis so much we headed back out to the field to load another truck and trailer load. We have two more loads to bring in and we should be pretty well "set" with wood for this winter. With the price of utilities, it is a blessing to be able to heat with wood. It does mark the end of summer though. Today was riding lesson day. The last day of summer vacation for both girls. Tomorrow is the first day of school. Another sign of the end of summer. A reminder to us of the Scripture that tells us "to everything there is a season". Every season has its own special moments and every season is necessary. God is good. Tuesday, August 19, 2008
