Sunday Fun

I always try to call work fun, so I don't get down and out about doing it.  Actually, it was Hubby who said he's glad we had to go out and cut wood yesterday.  He said it's good to get fresh air in winter.   Then again, he's the first to say, "why do we do this?" when we run out of wood and we haven't planned early for it, ha ha!

The last few times we split wood, I found beauty all around us and went back out with my camera.  Hubby laughs at this, and calls me "crazy."

Here are the photos I took:





I may be crazy about certain things, but it was just too pretty not to take photos (even though we froze our ba-zoongas off slpitting wood).  

I had a carhartt over a full body carhartt.  Hubby's old ones that is.  And insulated boots.  Every winter I remind him why we need to cut more wood in the better weather months.  I know we had hiccups these past few years, but I am hopeful for a better planned year this year.

The snow is already rolling in (again).  I thought they said later in the week. Hm.  I hope it's not a lot.  At least it's not blowing today.  Whew.  My barn doors are froze shut (but one), so I'm looking forward to warmer days again.

I spent the rest of Sunday crocheting.  Hubby got called to work (prior to splitting wood), and housework just didn't sound right on what I call, my "rest" day.

I think I'll pull some more pumpkin soup from the freeze and get the day started.  I'm tempted to crochet all day (he he!) Or read a book.  Oh boy, that would be a treat.  I better got off here and get my chores done.  Have a wonderful Monday.

  3. Beautiful ice sculptures! But it had to have been cold splitting all that wood!
    We are still stuck in the deep freeze around here too!

  4. We’re due for another storm, too. Although, it doesn’t call for a lot of snow.
    Isn’t the ice beautiful? Too bad it’s a bear to drive in!

  8. I know when I used to split wood on the farm I liked it cold as I worked up a sweat! Are you sure you're not 'goofing off' too much? LOL! Just kidding. It has been brutally cold everywhere. Your pictures are pretty...nature pictures are the best!
    I have Saturday as Craft Day otherwise I really don't get to focus time on them and then Sunday is rest also but sometimes I have to cook or do some chores....I need to plan my Sundays better. Good for you!
