This year we came up to Montana for Thanksgiving. It was super cold. It was my first time ever having to go gather wood for their wood burning stove. It was hard work. I'm so thankful that Spence bought me my new snow boots before we went up. My feet would have froze!
When we got up to the mountains there was alot of snow. White lightning and the maroon monster got stuck about a hundred times, between the two of them! It was definitely an adventure that's for sure. Alan cut down tree after tree. Then the cut off the branches. Our job was to gather the branches into a pile about twenty feet away, then lift the logs into the back of the truck. The logs were super heavy. Some of them took Alan, LeeAnn, Boyd, Alison, Spence and me to lift them.
After about four hours Alison and I were frozen. We sat in the truck while everyone else took care of the last two trees. On the way home, the maroon monster had a problem. The antifreeze blew out or something. Boyd, Spence and I had to drive to a river and fill up some water bottles in the frozen river so that we could temporarily get the maroon monster home. Thankfully it worked.
The next morning everyone woke up sore. I don't think i'm cut out for that kind of work. Haha
