We ran out of (split and ready) firewood right before this most recent cold front, and it was a sad day when the sleet/snow mix started falling on Wednesday and our fireplaces were dark and cold. So this weekend, when we woke up to sunlight streaming in through the windows and read that we'd be getting up out of the 30's for a bit, we bundled up and got to work on a refill! Everyone pitched in, and after the first load or two was split we weren't even feeling the windchill anymore. It's true what they say- firewood heats you twice; once when you work to prepare it, and the second time when you actually burn it!
I'm happy to say that our wood shed is now filled to the rafters, the indoor rack is filled to the top, and we've had a fire in the fireplace almost constantly since Saturday afternoon... not to mention the driveway is now safe and clear of those dead oaks. If I do say so myself, we did good this weekend!
