"Real Man" Work

This being my first blog, I thought I would talk about something interesting. I can't have that title and have something boring or YOU wouldn't come back for more. Who are "you"? The 1 person that came to read this. Thank you!

 What is considered 'real man' work?

I would say cutting down a MASSIVE tree as tall as a 5 story building is something considered to be real man work. That is something I have taken part in recently here in my new home in Montana. I have to say, it is an amazing thing to watch a tree fall after cutting into it with our minuscule tools, like a chainsaw. If the tree could talk, it would say, "Look at that little man, or woman, (do I need to be PC in my blogs?) coming with that little nail file in their hand. What is this, what is happening......ahhhhh." And then it falls and I win. We then proceed to cut this massive tree into smaller pieces to take it home for burning.

Trees for firewood warm you twice; once when you cut them up and a second time when you burn them. What a great thing God has provided for us.

Disclaimer: The said trees were completely dead, burned in a fire started by lightning. We are helping thin the forest if another fire decides to burn through the forest again.

Until next time...enjoy the awesome central heating you may have. I think cutting down a tree is something everyone should get to experience at one point in their life.
