Continuing with the winter theme, I thought I would post this one of some cousins hauling in wood from the bush. One of the winter chores was cutting & hauling home trees. Once in the yard they would be stacked & left to dry/cure till the following fall. At that time it would all be cut & piled for use that winter.
Circa 1940

We had a half wood half electric stove until apx. 1966, I was to young to be in on the wood cutting hauling though.
Thanks for the love agh, Sis, vans & Sean.
Thanks for the love & sharing your own memories Phil.
beautiful photo and post !!!
Your very welcome Walksoflty!!
You keep posting these things & I'm out of blankets! Actually only have 1 cotton blanket but have sights on a warm body. It's freezing! Probably 73-74F now.
Thanks again Sean.
My devious plan is working B'buss every time I post one of these winter photos it gets colder down there.
Would you like me to ship you some wool & knitting needles?
Well, I do have 2 spinning wheels.
B'buss you just need your own sheep!
Not a good idea for the sheep..lol....... I meant it's too hot there for them. RER
Yes, must think of the welfare of the animal.
Thanks for sharing this history, I will remember it, and the wonderful photos.

I used to have one & still miss her. LOL Actually we have lots if sheep but the breed doesn't have a lot if wool. They actually look so much like goats that the only way to tell the difference is the tail. Up=goat & down=sheep.
Thanks for the love Lee, DrFluffy & Kevin.
When I was young we had a wood or coal stove in the kitchen and an oil furnace in the living room floor with a grate, no fan just gravity heat, we would come in from the cold and stand on that grate. we burned wood or coal in the kitchen stove. I still have my Dads Remington model 31 16 gauge shot gun with a chunk missing on the pump handle ( walnut) that he hit with a chunk of fire wood when we were collecting firewood throwing it on a wagon during deer season.
Great memories EJW, I imagine your Dad did some cursing when that happened.
You're welcome Tony, glad you enjoyed this post.
Thanks for the love geo, Gar, Aim, Ron, Roy, Sis & Inky.
Thanks for the love & your story Brat.
There's more enjoyment out of the fire than there is collecting the wood for it:-)
My grandpa used to say,when you were cutting wood ,that was the only time you got warm in our old farmhouse!!!!
LOL...Gar I've heard similar stories, it was tough keeping those old houses warm.
At least when you where in the bush there was no wind.
Such great photo's Bro ! I am lovin' them all :-)))))))))
Thanks so much Sis :-))))))
Wonderful photos!!! : ))
Thank you Mikko, nice to see you making the rounds this AM.
Thanks for the love Tutzie, Val, VF, Petey, tom, Printsid, Sis, RG & pops.
Wonderful post, Wonderful Pics, Wonderful story!!
Thank you VERY much for these posts/pictures !!
Thanks for the love & kind words Rose.
Brrrr!!!
Never explained what all that white stuff is on the ground? Sand?
BB2....Google Snow! lol
S-n-o-w. OK, got it but no definition I can identify with. Cold sand? What is cold sand?
It really not that different, it moved with the wind & piles up in wonderful drifts & like sand is then hard to move.
Thanks for the love
