Wood Work
October 1, 2012
That was a great weekend. A busy, working weekend but the most enjoyable kind of work there is. Work done with friends. Work with a very tangible reward, heat for our homes this winter. Work that engages our body and gives the kids a chance to operate power tools. Work ...
The View Around Here ~ In the woods
September 28, 2012
It's wood weekend. We're renting a splitter with our friend/landlord and splitting a bunch of wood. We're sharing the work and we're sharing the wood to heat our homes this winter. We live in "woodsville" you could say. Our house is surrounded by woods. And stashed here and there and ...

Dressing up and stalking around the house like ninjas is also a fun one. Whispering under tents, sharing stories and plots. Building fairies houses in ...
