The grub within

My new favorite activity is splitting wood. Alex bought me a nice sharp new fiskar axe, and my neighbor's boyfriend (they're both in their 70s--adorable) gave me a huge heavy rusty maul. The older axe blasts through logs like tearing a sheet of paper. When I get a knotty log that the maul bounces off, the sharp fiskar can strip kindling strips off of it.
Anyway, I chopped one log and it blasted apart revealing this wood boring beetle larva. Pretty cool! I fed it to the chickens.
