I like cutting, hauling, splitting in the fall. Now until it gets too muddy. It's not too hot and humid, and the bugs aren't bad. The ground is dry for the most part so it's easy to get into the woods. Winter is good sometimes, just depends on the ground conditions more than anything here. It gets too hot in the summer, and there is also too much else to do then.
I have boys 8, 3 and 20 months. The older one doesn't like helping too much, and it's like pulling teeth to help with outside chores. The 2 younger ones are great. They love being outside anytime they can. Last night we all went to my mom's for supper. Then I cut up a big ash tree she had cut down. My mom and my wife both had to hold the 2 younger ones back while I was using the saw. They want to help so much. I took a break for a minute and the 20 month old had his hands on the handles of the saw trying to pick it up. They love firewood and the 4 wheeler. The 3 year old prays are supper time on his own. He gets a sweet little voice and says thank for letting us be outside, thank you for the 4 wheelers, and thank you for the food. Every night he's grateful for the 4 wheelers and being outside.
