Here we are fetching firewood. After bucking and splitting the horse drives a sleigh to pull the firewood to the house. Normally the wood has been bucked and split and stacked around a tree near the house. For some reason the cache came up a wee short this winter. Until there is more time to do a major haul the few loads delivered by the horses will have to do.

From the wood store under the tree the wood goes down a chute into the basement where the stove is. Then collected down a short path it is fed to the stove. If you feed it late enough in the evening and don't burn it too fast with damper settings then it might still be smoldering enough in the early morning to restart it with a fresh load of wood.

And It's Also Fun Here Too -->
