You see, we need firewood all winter so people go out and cut down the trees during the day (by people I mean men) and then the guys were all chopping it and being manly before dinner and don't get me wrong, it was IMPRESSIVE. So then later around 8:30 when we got back tonight, the girls were there, in the dark trying to chop (the guys were all in having a meeting, talk-thing). It was SO funny! Some were better than others but everyone tried it. We felt so hard core! And suffice to say, the guys now look MUCH more impressive!
Oh and then "Tiny" came out and laughing at us, had to show us how it's done. We were all in aw! But I just can't believe how much entertainment we have now derived from chopping wood. All the RA's are like, "I sure hope this fascination lasts!" Apparently we are all gonna be SICK of chopping wood by the end of winter...probably by the middle of winter. But for now...it's fun!
this is "Tiny"...not tiny

ReplyDeleteHey Analea, doesn't this bring back memories from Woodcutting in the OK? Wood cutting is great therapy for deep thinking and sorting out your life's troubles. Remember- The weight of the block is more effective than the Weight of the axe head when splitting a large block
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of last summer when camping with Chelsea, Courtney and Aunt Jocelyn....chopping wood then was the favorite pastime...you girls all had fun cutting the kindling...remember Courtney was so bored as everyone read books :)
