My dad was a farmer, as was his dad. Part of my childhood (Summers) were spent on my Grandparents farm, working and helping out any way I could.
This was an old-school farm where the only heat source was wood fired, and much of the food was raised on the property.
Eggs were gathered every day, cows were milked, soap was home made, as well as butter.
My grandfather built their modest little home with his own hands, and incorporated indoor plumbing into the design. The water heater was built into the wood stove. My first chore every morning was starting the fire in the wood stove.
I mostly worked in the field, and split firewood.
To this day, I believe splitting firewood is one of the most therapeutic activities you can do. I am actually pretty good at splitting wood.
