With a little help from friends....


Every now and then we can all use some help...
Traditionally people have pooled their efforts to accomplish tasks like building barns,  sewing quilts, logging or bringing in a harvest. 
Terms like barn raisings or quilting and logging bees may be familiar to you. 
Friends helping friends is not a new concept...it helps big jobs get done!

I call it the "buddy pool"...
A labour pool of friends in times of need.
Not only does the buddy pool help get needed tasks done but it is a fun social time too!

Over the winter I have cut and piled wood with friends...

Recently I helped one friend dig fence posts in his foresest to help contain hs ever increasing flock of chickens and ducks.

And last weekend it was a drive up north to help another friend get his outpost fishing and hunting camp ready for the season.


An atv being driven on shore very carefully from the boat it was brought in on. 
Boats and motors in the background need to be put in the water...
Some buildings need to have their footings reworked...
Wood needs cutting...


and after the work is done...
fish in the lake need to be caught!
