The Joy of Working Hard

I played hookie today and spent most of the day in God's garden. Violets, blood root, may apples and spring beauties seemed to be everywhere.

I cut and split wood, almost all walnut. I bought an axe at an auction last weekend, mostly for chopping out knobs and roots close to the ground left from the brush hog. As long as the wood isn't too full of knots or over 10 or 12 inches, the axe splits wood like a dream. Sure is a nice rest from the maul.

I couldn't help but wish, while I worked, that I could make a living doing this. May sell some fireplace wood or campfire wood to campers, but sure won't get rich. It was a marvelous day anyway and I thank the Lord for it.

Good for you! Like to come to Germany and do some more of it???

I know what you mean though. I bought a pto broadcast spreader for the tractor, but fertilized pastures with a walkbehind broadcaster yesterday. So much more fun on solid ground with the sun on your back (as apposed to soup and rain).

Keep enjoying life.

Dave
