I started a new raised bed garden project, but tendonitis in both arms has me waylaid for now. At least the cats are enjoying the materials!

Time to get the wood in!

One of the chores planned for my autumn vacation - get all this wood stacked in the barn.

Time to get that firewood into the barn! This is the start of a perfect staycation. One whole week, one long list of pre-winter chores!

A full wood closet on a chilly day. Bizzy agrees!

Half the wood is done! We're late - hubby usually has this chore out of the way by mid-May. All our wood comes from our modest ten acre parcel; trees cleared to make pasture, trees that are too tall and in danger of blowing down, trees that have been compromised by ice storms or lightening or woodpeckers...hubby was in the logging business long ago, so he knows how to manage the forest like a giant garden. This is just about enough wood to get us through the winter for the big stove. We still need to split up a couple loads for the cookstove (smaller and shorter wood we call "biscuit wood") and we'll be ready. We have no other heat source, so having the wood stacked and ready is a load off our minds. Be an ant, not a grasshopper!
