Grama's Recipes From Life

Gathering the winter supply of wood is a job for the men in the family. First it is good to wait until there is snow on the ground. Then it is well for your father to build a bob sled and head for the mountain. The men will chop down the scrub oak and load the logs onto the sled. The tops of the brush will be left on so as the load is dragged down through the field as nice groove will be dug in the snow. This trail will later be used for a sled, toboggan or ski trail for your 10 kids. Your 10 kids will have a great time playing on this trail and the oak will provide some cozy evenings in the long hard winter. The oak will be cut into pieces that can fit into the stove and stacked in neat piles near the house. |
