Gathering winter fuel
I always dedicate these soggy days of late March - when the promise of spring danglles in the air like an plum we can't quite reach yet - to the final state of firewood procurement.
The solid ground of winter is for cutting and hauling; Spring is for splitting and stacking the 10 face-cords we'll need to heat our house nest winter.(A face-cord is pile of wood stacked four feet high, eight feet long, one log wide.)
Friday's snowstorm sidelined the project but we were back at it Friday. I split; Sharon stacked.
