HELPING GRANDPA

Yesterday Owen was a big help to Grandpa. We worked together to cut, split and stack wood. Here Owen hauls out our tools for the day.

Sherri brought me a nifty tool for lifting the logs off the ground which helps keep the log steady and the chainsaw out of the dirt.

Owen's job was to load the sleigh.

Some chunks were a struggle to lift but Owen managed to fill the sleigh all by himself.

He then pulled the load over to the shed where he helped Grandpa stack the firewood to dry for next winter.

Every grandpa needs a helper like Owen.

After lunch we had a lovely "Facebook" chat with Maggie and Sean in Alberta. It's a remarkable age we live in, so easy to connect and see who you are chatting with a thousand miles away.

Today Sherri, Owen and Kate head home and we will miss them terribly. It has been the perfect March Break for us.

I do have more pictures I will post tomorrow.

Safe travels everyone and thanks for stopping by.
