Our Day at the Ranch

It was a nice day for getting wood. We had to sit out a downpour for a few minutes. I got soaked just opening the gate to pull in. The ground was just wet on the surface so we didn't have to worry about getting stuck. We had an enjoyable time; we cut down some dead trees right on the edge of the hay field at the top of the ranch. Shelly wanted to learn how to use a chain saw, so I dropped a tree and showed her how to cut through the tree. As you can see from the picture she caught on pretty fast. We had to sit out another little rain storm, the lighting at the ranch is pretty awesome. It would strike in the mountains above us and the thunder would just boom. We were able to get the pickup full of wood and we had fun doing it. I just need to remember not to get Shelly mad at me, when she has a chain saw in her hands.
