Today was spent on firewood. I rather enjoy working on firewood, it's very satisfying to see it piled up and drying in the summer sun. There is nothing I hate worse then trying to do it after the snow is on the ground. Every time that happens I promise myself it will be the last time but it never is. We are far from done but approaching half done with the cutting and splitting, maybe 4 cord so far. Wade got the splitter fixed after he dropped it out of the tractor bucket while moving it and bent the base all up.

This morning the Allagash Fire Department burned down Wade's Aunt Jackie's house. It had been abandoned for years since she moved to Eagle Lake. It was sad for her daughters who stood by the roadside and watched it go up in flames. I hate to think what that must feel like to see your childhood home burned up like a pile of garbage. But like Darlene said, they will always have the memories of the time spent there.

To celebrate Darlene's birthday Leitha invited us to dinner at the camp. We had meatloaf, potatoes and gravy, fiddleheads, pickled beets, peas, corn and macaroni salad. For dessert we had pie and cheesecake. It was a nice visit!
