So Easter was on the 24th this year and it led to Trish and I discussing who decides when Easter is. Me, I just figured it was a specified Sunday every year, but nope, I was wrong. It’s based on the Catholic Calendar and changes every year. This is what started our conversion as last year it was April 4th, 3 weeks difference. Anywho, since I messed up on the photo taking, below are a couple short videos of Easter with Melissa, Shawn and the boys and Racheal and Adam with her youngun’s as well as .
The Egg Hunt
Counting the Eggs, hate to lose one in the yard ..
We celebrated Easter on Saturday rather than Sunday as Rachael and family had to head back to Anchorage. It was a bit sad for Trish who was missing Carol (her sister) this year and I figured I’d go cut some firewood and let her contemplate life a bit.
Firewood is my spring fling every year after the snow has melted and I have to put up the sleds until next winter. Since we use lots of firewood, as Trish believes in having a fire going anytime the outside temp’s drops below 90 above, I do lots of cutting In the spring. On the first trip of wood cutting we used the Bearcat and Siglin sled as I hadn’t put it up for the season and it sure made life easy. We cut the logs to 10 to 15 foot lengths and then hauled them to the trucks to be bucked up in rounds and loaded. First time I can remember that my back didn’t hurt from hauling rounds out of the woods,
Since the log hauling worked so good on the Siglin I decided I needed a log skidder I could drag behind the ATV and as great minds think alike, Jake came to the same conclusion so we had one built and took it out last weekend. Had a learning curve to go through but it sure made hauling wood a lot easier. This week were planning on having 3 trucks which means 3 cords or more of firewood. I expect it’ll be a long day with lots of log skidding and bucking.
