Ohio has had some warm weather recently, throwing us into panic mode. We know Winter weather will show up any day, and living in the country means we rely on propane as our main heating source. Propane is EXPENSIVE! Thankfully, we have a fireplace and 2.5 acres of woods, so we spent the weekend cutting up dead trees.

There are a lot of dead Ash trees from an Emerald Ash Borer infestation that happened before we owned the property, and a lot of what we believe are Black Locust trees that are crowded in the woods. We had a windstorm a few years ago that knocked over 7-8 trees, so we have plenty of work left.
We did a lot of cutting, splitting, and stacking. There’s always something to do around the homestead!
