To Build a Fire

Dear Folks,                           23rd November 2015

    Here we have a video of our third son teaching my wife how to build a fire.  Not unlike a mighty Proverbs Thirty-One woman of yore, Mamma evinces the makings of a Genuine Frontier Woman (hereafter GFW).  It is a delight to see Mamma no longer afraid of fire, but in sublime comfortable appreciation of the blessing God gives us in the wood on our property. 

   In a week or two I will order some trees to plant on our new property:  maybe 14 Dawn Redwood, three Sequoia, three Coast Redwood, 10 Japanese Maples, and two Bristle-cone Pines.

   I aim to begin collecting cedar seedlings off the side of the roads on the next sunny day now.  They grow wild, and being in the 24-foot zone beside of the road, they will be cut when the motorized scythe machines come rolling by.  I want to get them before that time arrives.
