Although it was a warm day, we worked on that massive woodpile—splitting and stacking against the cold and blustery days looming out there.

You’ve given proof to the old adage that firewood warms twice: Once while splitting it and again when burning it.

We definitely need to get onto our wood pile too. Though John needs to get his body fixed too. He can barely stand unsupported at the moment. I guess he can back the tractor up though! And I do the splitting and stacking. Oh yay.

Oh, gosh. I hope John gets his back fixed soon

I think it is his leg. Though I can’t make him go to the doctor. He walks around holding onto stuff. But we will see. Eventually something will give.

You have my sympathy. I’m in the process of stacking now too. a few years ago I started getting it split for me, but the Annual Festival of Wood goes on.
