I have missed a TWT or 2, but the garden needed to be put to bed for the winter, and the kitchen garden needed some expanding and cleaning, so getting out there and pulling up the dead plants, tilling, expanding, stacking rocks for my water fall in my kitchen garden and transplanting broccoli has drained my energy.  Saturday after the Making memories TAL I went to bed, I had hit a wall.

So, for my TWT post I want to share elbow grease in motion with you.  Earlier this year a friend called and said a tree (huge tree) had fallen in their yard and wanted to know if my hubby would help out.  They had insurance and between the tree and some very minor repairs we were paid well over $500 to haul off a tree.  We have a wood burning stove.......  We stoped having the gas man come and fill that huge tank 2 years ago and have not regreted it since.  We use our gas grill year 'round for cooking, and we just were given one that has a side burner too, so I use that often.

So to burn off excess steam for my 12yo son and heat the house we are burning that tree.

Here is a picture of my 12yo son burning off excess steam.
