Tomorrow Bernie and I will get into the cab of one of his semi trucks and go back up to our cabin. This will be my second trip in a semi truck and this time I will remember to bring a book or some needle work to do.
We are taking the big truck because Bernie wants to take up some power poles that he got. These are huge and long and I honestly am not near as excited about them as Bernie was when he got the call to come and salvage them. I think it may have something to do with him growing up in the "treeless" south of the province and me growing up surrounded by big trees but when he heard that some power lines had blown down in a storm this summer he was really hoping that he could get his hands on at least some of them. When he got the call to come and get all he wanted everything stopped and away he went. Now we will haul them up to the bush, where there are already lots of trees and poles... and he will be able to stare lovingly at more wood.
I think the man is obsessed with his wood and then I think of all the things he has been able to make for me with all that wood. I think of all the art and craft supplies I have in bins and boxes and baskets around the house. I have a tendency to get a little obsessive myself. Maybe this is why we get along so well!
After harvest everyone is so tired, Bernie from going forth and back across the fields all day and half the night and me from cooking and baking and waiting for him to come home at night. We both need some well deserved r and r. So off we go to our favorite spot, the cabin at Nipawin.
Now if only we get some rest, how much you want to bet he comes up with some work that needs to be done?
