Operation Tree Cutting Complete

This weekend the plan was to get all of the trees cut for the garden fence. Well, 44 8' logs, 616 4' branches, 2 chainsaw blades, 1 pair of garden shoes, about 50 scrapes and cuts, and about 50 aching muscles later, the wood for the fence has been cut and measured!!  As exhausting as it was, the memories we made as a family have definitely made it all worth it. It's such an amazing feeling to know that we are using what the land provided to help sustain us. Seeing all 5 kids working together puts huge smiles on our faces. They are so proud of themselves, too. The next step is assembling the fence. If the weather is on our side, we will face that challenge next weekend.
