A load of pine arrived
Just as the sky was turning to crimson.
We only have to head to the mountains for aspen, then we are set for the winter!
Not long now to gather all the firewood
There is a ‘for-real’ chill in the early morning air now.

I remember how getting my firewood delivered was the signal that winter was on the way. And yes, it warmed me three times: once when I stacked it, once when I split the logs and once when I burned it!

My favourite form of heating. I miss my wood stove, so great for drying laundry, too!

That’s a lot of wood! And from the forecast, not any too soon. You guys are way ahead of me – Snow fircasted here tonight & tomorrow.

Shoot. We still need a matching load of aspen. It looks like a lot of wood, but Shannon uses the wood with us.

That load of wood should provide many warm evenings during the winter. (Not to mention the warmth you experience when you cut and split it!)

I can’t wait for any sort of precipitation to help douse all the fires.

We’re bringing in wood as well and never been this late having the woodshed full! Garden is done but raising a few things in the greenhouse. 45* here this morning but big chill headed for us supposedly this weekend. I think I’m ready for cooler weather.
Praying for all of the west and the fires, a good gentle snow may be just what you need!!

The smoke is horrid again. Hard to breathe. So close to us it’s even drifting enough the house when the doors open. Sigh

There really isn’t any heat as nice a wood. Terry says he is getting to age place where he is tired of this firewood adventure.
