Every year about this time, Todd retells the story of the Ant and the Grasshopper to the girls. How the grasshopper goofed around and played all Summer and Fall while the Ant worked hard to put away food for the long Winter months. Fall for us is Soccer, apple picking, pumpkin carving, trick or treating, raking leaves and of course hauling and stacking wood to keep us warm all Winter long. It has become a family event here at Camp Beard. Here are some pictures to document our day.
We think it was two cords of wood. Mysteriously, there was more wood there days after the load was delivered. Hmmmmm......could it be the wood fairy??
Callie gets serious about this and is a very hard worker!!
Here I am loading up the wheelbarrow for yet another trip to the back pile.
Even Emily gets in on the act!!
Here the girls are still happy and willing to work!!
The pile is getting smaller!!!
Here is our finished work. We also have a large pile in the screened porch and another couple piles around the house. After all this work we STILL have a small pile yet to do in our side yard. But we are ready for the Winter......WE ARE ANTS!!!!

I had so much fun with the wood!!
Wow! You guys are hard workers! That is a ton of wood! Just remember, the ants will be nice and toasty this winter while the other creatures are frozen and miserable. :0) Have a super Fall and enjoy your lovely fire!
I guess some of my favorite friends are ants. I love the pics. The wood pile looks so pretty and perfect like a wall in the yard!
