Winter is coming so fast! We've already had hail and some snow in the mountains. I have to close the windows at night, and Lia fusses that she's so cold in the morning that she wants a fire. Looks like it will be a long winter. So we headed to the woods to look for wood. It ended up being more like a picnic. It was fun. I love enjoying the beautiful mountains that we are blessed to live in. Sam loves just being in the woods where he can swordfight with big sticks, rolling and throwing rocks down hills and imagining about all the animals and what they are doing. On the way home there were big drifts of what looked like snow, we pulled over to scoop some into our ice chest for Lia (who says she misses all the fun stuff, because she has to go to school) and it turned out to be drifts of hail, which was even cooler (literally). She loved it! The next day Sean was able to get up and go get a load of wood. His truck only sustained minor damage from some tree, funny how that happens, and he was able to make it in the driveway before the battery on the truck got fried. Things that keep life interesting. A couple of more loads of wood and we should be set for winter!
