The extended 4th of July weekend was a productive one for the Ro-Ri household. We celebrated our freedom by splitting logs. There was a whole stack of logs at the end of the yard that needed splitting for firewood. Hydraulic wood splitters made the job a little easier. Even then, it took us two days to haul the logs, split and stack the wood, and do the clean up. Thank God for two teenage boys!

Hauling those huge logs from one end of the yard to the log splitter was a major task in itself. There are two layers of logs from two fell trees of previous years and branches trimmed from last year’s autumn tree trimming.

All nicely covered to keep the firewood dry. This should last us four winters. Yes, we do have central heating. This is just for the fireplace.

Of course, Biren made the Blueberry Ice Cream! She felt a little like Ma Ingalls of Little House on the Prairie. Thanks to modern amenities, she did not have to milk the cows and hand churn the ice cream but she still lives in the Prairie. 😉

    Girl, that is a LOT of wood. That whole wood chopping thing is a foreign concept to me since I grew up in Hawaii and live in LA now. That ice cream looks like a great reward after all that hard work!

    I loved your writing Biren! It was pretty funny. So why you had that many logs to begin with??? Did you chop down the tree or something? It’s nice that you are ready for the warm winter. LOL! Your ice cream looks so delicious. Blueberry is one of my favorite fruits, but never had it in ice cream. My mom is crazy about blueberries. Maybe we’ll give this a try when she’s here!

      Thanks Nami! Yes, we did chop down several trees as there are way too many in the yard. While it is nice and shady, we do need to let some sunshine through. There are still quite a number of trees left standing. We also trim our trees and raise their canopy each year and so the branches are all saved for firewood. The link I provided brings you to a post that shows how the guys climbed and trimmed the trees. It is pretty scary, yet fascinating.

      I don’t think I have seen blueberry ice cream in the stores. It is nice to have an ice cream maker as I can experiment with all kinds of delicious flavors. 🙂

      I am leaning towards the veggie plot. Have to build a fence as we do have deer and rabbits in the neighborhood. The deer ate my beans and baby lettuce provided the rabbits with a fresh salad bar. They may be cute to look at but when they eat your veggies, they aren’t that cute anymore. 😉

      I love the color of the ice cream too. That lavender color is one of my favorites. It is a win-win as the ice cream is delicious and pretty to look at. 🙂

    Wow, does that ever look familiar? My husband spend the weekend helping his dad split wood for his wood pile too. They filled 4 racks like yours and still have over 1/2 the tree to split. It was a huge oak that fell during a storm last all.

    Now, that is what I called a satisfying and lip-smacking reward at the end of a great work-out! Blueberries icecream sounds great, except in our household, the blueberries don’t last very long, my kids eat them up so fast they sometimes don’t even make it to the fridge. Definitely a veggie plot – french beans, tomatoes and salad leaves are my favourite things to plant. I envy you on those logs, nothing beats a nice warm fire in the frigid winter nights.

      It sure was a good workout. I think I burned quite a few calories bringing the wood up the hill to the patio and stacking it. Hopefully I did not put all the calories back in with the ice cream. 😉 I usually buy 2 packs of blueberries if I intend to cook with them so that we have a pack for snacking.

      I am leaning towards a veggie plot but it will have to be next year as the planting season here is very short and summer will be over soon. I am glad we have lots of firewood for the winter and for our outdoor fires but I am not ready for winter yet!

Those were the fun childhood days for me! We used to lived in the Kampong houses when young and only moved to a flat when I was about 5yrs old. 🙂

      It took us 2 days to split all those logs. Good thing there were 4 of us and both my boys were able to lift those huge logs. I am glad my pictures brought back good childhood memories for you. 🙂

      Half-and half is half cream and half milk and it can be easily found in cartons here in the US. You can use whole (full fat) milk if you can’t find half-and half.

    Gosh, I’m glad you guys clear up the space! sounds perfect for some gardening….herbs & vegetables. So, do you think there’s enough time for the vegetables before the next winter? If so, that will be great. Maybe I can send you some seeds. Can I??? I think they’re not allow seeds through mailing, right?
    Btw, your ice cream sounds great.
