At last ! The snow has finally melted enough that we were able to drive up to our favorite firewood gathering place. We usually are able to get in around the middle of May.....this year we had snow at our house in the middle of May ! However.....those same storms that brought in all that cold and snow also blew down a lot of big oak trees on Deadwood ridge and so.........we are in firewood heaven !! This will be a year we'll talk about for decades to come .........I can see all the kids rolling their eyes !!!!
All was not actually groovy yesterday . We got a flat tire up there and it was not fun . The jack in the truck is under the back seat and the back seat was under a ton of firewood ! After unloading the wood , retrieving the jack, and putting on the spare tire .......we discovered the spare was flat ! We were miles from anywhere and ,of course, no cell reception. Luckily we discovered that we had our little air compressor with us , so we plugged it in to the lighter and after about 45 minutes we were on our way !! I STRONGLY recommend one of those little compressors for anyone that travels in remote locales !
I met Molly in Auburn today and we did a few errands and enjoyed the air conditioned stores.......it's in the upper 90's today. I dare not complain about the heat ......it hasn't been long enough yet since I was complaining about the cold !
