Fuel for the oven

Much of the wood for the bread oven comes from our land in Davis County. It seems that nearly every year our woodlot gives up a fair size oak or hickory tree. We cut the largest limbs and the trunk into manageable pieces and pick a weekend to split it all. In the process we find the most interesting bugs. This year, for the first time, we found a pseudoscorpion hiding in the bark. It was less than 1/4 inch in size and looked just like a tiny tick with scorpion claws--which is pretty much what a pseudoscorpion is.


Here is a look at part of the wood we cut, split, and stacked, and the crew who lent their hands. And backs.
