Firewood

This past January was a very cold month and our wood-stove made  these cold days of  winter comfortable. We have lots of firewood for this year but now it's time to start working on next year's firewood supply.

After a week of sub-zero overnight temperatures, the conditions were perfect with today's temperature climbing into the low 40's, the ground was frozen rock hard, very little snow and calm winds,  it's time to haul firewood. A couple of years ago a pipeline right-of-way was cleared through the woods on our cabin property and the logs were stacked at the edge of the right-of-way. When the conditions are right, we load the logs on a trailer and haul them to our barn, less than a mile away, where they are cut and split into firewood.
