Always alot of stuff to do when you have a bunch of land around your house and it is an old house. Right now I'm learning all I can about roof work getting ready to re-roof it.

I certainly understand the logging portion of land ownership. It's a constant battle. Not only the trees and brush around where you don't want it, but keeping the sprouts from turning into trees in the pastures.
I'm glad to hear that the boys are involved with it. My son and I spent lots of time clearing brush and cutting firewood from the time he was about six until he went off to college. The second Christmas he was home from college we had a terrible ice storm that took down lots of heavy branches around the house. We spent several days with a chainsaw trying to clean up the mess. He said he thought he was finished with that part of his life. Now that he's almost 30 he's kind of ready to help me with such things when he visits. Maybe the city life wasn't what he thought it would be.
