Firewood

We spent a good part of our time cutting firewood when we were young. We didn't have any power equipment like chainsaws. Everything was done with an ax and a two man saw. The woodshed was connected to the barn, so at least we were out of the cold wind. Two of us would cut off 16 inch pieces of a log on the saw horse with the two man saw and one would split the wood. The whole time Dad would be talking about something or other. That's probably why we were so quiet, we never got a chance to practice.
