插图：But the good life can get pretty tough．Three months ago when it was 30 belowa，we spent two miserable days hauling firewood up the river on a sled．Three months from now，it be 95 above and we will be cultivating corn．weeding straw- berries and killing chickens．Recently，Sandy and I had to retile the back roof．Soon Jim，1 6 and Emily，13,the youngest of our four children，will help me make some long-overdue improvements on the outdoor toilet that．supplements our indoor plumbing when we are working outside．Later this month，well spray the orchard，paint the barn，plant the garden and clean the hen house before the new chicks arrive．In between such chores，I manage to spend 50 to 60 hours a week at the typewriter or doing reporting for the freelance articles I sell to magazines and newspapers．Sandy， meanwhile，pursues her own demanding schedule．Besides the usual household routine，she oversees the garden and beehives，bakes bread，cans and freezes，drives the kids to their music lessons，practices with them，takes organ lessons on her own，does research and typing for me，writes an article herself now and then，tends the flower beds，stacks a little wood and delivers the eggs．There is，as the old saying goes，no rest for the wicked.
