In the BarnIn the Fields

Plotting The Next Move

During the thick fog of early morning I was able to get some wood pieces sawed. Light rain had started and appeared that the wetness was going to continue on through the day so I moved the wood into the barn with the Gator.

2 black and white dogs sitting on mud drivewayStarting up the splitter I worked through the Gator load and stacked the firewood into a crib. The Jackson and Butler were busy doing their dog-thing by running around. They would come back to check on me every so often just to run by and make sure I was still working away.

About an hour into the splitting, both dogs figured I was about done with the load because they both showed up from wherever they had been scouting. They plopped themselves down on the muddy driveway of the barn and watched. Their backs were toward me so they did not really care what I was doing but they were watching the log deck to see if any chipmunks were brave enough to show themselves. And they were watching the field to see if a coyote showed up, or perhaps they were hoping the stray cat that likes to hunt mice along the fenceline would be up for a good chase.

The two dogs with their familial spots, the ones that are not exactly the same but near enough to see the combined ancestry, sat side by side. Both looked left, both turned right, both happy to sit and wait for some fun and their next move to come along.
