First Fire of 2012
Anzac Day was a cold windy day, so I thought it was the perfect day for the first real fire of the season.  I had lit the stove once for cooking pizza a few weeks earlier, but this was the first fire in the sitting room.  I had forgotten how lovely the warmth from a fire can be.

Ready for Winter
My new load of wood arrived on 20 March. I didn't even get a chance to load it into the shed this time, Steve and Dad did it all for me. Russell and I have started splitting it for the fuel stove, with the larger pieces for the inside fire, but we haven't actually had a fire yet. Maybe next weekend. Or I might even light one just for myself if it gets too cold.
Also, while Mum and Dad were visiting, Dad mowed the centre tree run, so the little trees could see the sun. Plus he mowed some paths. One path in particular was for the car, all the way from the back gate. Steve was asking about taking the chicken coop to his house and to do that we would need to bring in the trailer, so Dad mowed a path. But we will need quite a few people to help lift the chicken coop over the fence and that hasn't been organised yet, let alone the initial inspection. All in good time.
