My Husqvarna

I’m a girl that likes to do boy things. Some (not all) of the traditional tasks given to men are way too much fun to be left out of. Maybe it’s because I have two sisters and growing up we were “Mom’s Girls” and “Dad’s Boys”. In the morning we’d clean the house and bake with Mom and in the afternoon we’d stack wood and hand tools to dad. Growing up this way whet my appetite for boy things and I look forward to collecting some of my own toys!

I like when my husband and I team up to accomplish a task around the house. There’s something nice about it just being the two of us working together to improve our home. We appreciate the help our family gives us on the major projects and we’d be in over our heads without them. But when it comes to painting a room, building a shelf, fixing up the yard or something like that, I prefer to be the one to help my husband. It’s bonding time!

We heat our house with wood during the colder months and that requires a lot of work in the spring, summer and fall. It’s a big time commitment as well. A lot of the work requires the help of men much stronger than I am and our dads are irreplaceable. But sometimes it works out that only Mark and I are available to down, chunk and chop wood, and in those instances, I need to really help. So…out comes my Husqvarna.

I don’t actually own one but Mark and I talked about it. A small chainsaw that I could use to de-limb trees would be very helpful in those times when it’s just Mark and I doing the lumberjacking. I did a quick search online for lightweight chainsaws and saw that Husqvarna makes one. That being a name I know and trust, I decided to set my hopes on that little chainsaw for fulfilling my dreams of becoming a “Lumber Jill”.
