J and I spent an afternoon last week stacking wood, lots of it. I was so proud of myself for all the work I did. Boy do I admire pioneer women! There are four more rows that you can't see.

My brother-in-law says that women in my family have a curious habit of carrying their plate around while they eat. He calls it “the wandering plate.” While some of it comes from simple busyness at meal time, I think it comes from an innate need to nourish the body and soul of those around us. We are last to fill our plate. Then we wander, moving from person to situation, to continue the nourishing process beyond just filling a belly. May my wanderings fill your soul as they do mine!

WOW - That is a lot of work... Samson used to do a lot of wood stacking when he was a kid! I think he'd really like to get a wood stove. He loves the heat is provides a home!
Wahoo! Pioneer woman is right...that is very impressive. And I was impressed with my 'pioneer skills' (pushing Laneah in the stroller through the packed ice [think handcart] and snow to get to the library. )
What a beautiful sight. You guys are some of the hardest workers I know. Sleep warm!
