The Axe

I got an axe! You wouldn't think this would be exciting but it is to me. For months I've been wanting one so I could get out in the woods and chop the logs that are on path. There is lots of dead wood out there from someone cutting it years ago.

It took me three months to get an axe because we couldn't afford $30. But yesterday we found one for $20 and we went with it. Thank you wifey!

This axe isn't only about chopping up the rotten logs and moving them. This axe is about having a tool that will be useful if there is no more world as we know it. With an axe we can get wood. We can stay warm. We can cook food. We can build shelter. This one tool, though not as easy as a chain saw, can still give so much to us and will never need gas.

I wanted to go out and use it when we brought it home yesterday but it was a down pour of hard stinging rain. So now I'm off to get the logs out of my way that I've been walking over for months..................
