After a Valentine's get-away over the weekend, the Big Guy was determined to be a productive member of society--even if it was Presiden'ts Day. He was also anxious to work off some of the festive fat he picked up in our Valentine celebrations at Biaggi's Friday night. The temperature was moderate (in the 20's this morning!) so the kids all went out to play in the snow.
Matthew and his friend, Jake, tunneled into a big snow drift the Big Guy had pushed to one side of the driveway. It was a king-of-the-mountain drift with smaller children sledding on top and bigger children digging underneath. Peace was short-lived. Of course, when tBG and I came by later to unload firewood it was as deserted as a coyote den in hunting season.
TBG cut down 9-10 trees that morning. We benefit from the wealth of trees previous owners planted in the 1970's. To the west of our house is a deep windbreak. TBG says, "The good thing about wood is that it warms you up a few times before you light the fire."

It was later that night, after chores and supper, that the crew (David & kids) went out to the barn to take care of Bubby's horns (Falcon, the calf--affectionately known as "Bubby.")
That's about the extent of the holiday festivities--hope your President's Day was as relaxing and enjoyable as ours!
