Words and Pictures
I almost feel like getting into a rant here today. I’m tempted. I have tons of material for a politicosocioeconomic rant without even bringing up the presidential race. (Just what was it in Nancy Pelosi’s speech that, as John Boehner put it, “caused a number of members
we thought we could get to go south” on the bailout?) Even more tempting is one of my usual semantic rants (Some people apparently don’t know the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist, and others — maybe even some of the same ones — give themselves an ego boost by saying they are “spiritual”.), but I’m just not up for ranting today.I caught a bunch of images yesterday, from dawn…
…through mid-day…
…into the afternoon, when Doug and I tarped the now-complete five-cord woodpile,
and he cleared out a new space for his chopping block,
despite Koji’s help.

Boo on Sarah Palin.
Hooray on Koji.
I could go on a rant about the bai lout and politics too but right now I don’t think it is worth my energy. Cool that you got your wood tarped and covered before the snow falls down and gets it to wet to burn. I have a generator, a bit of gasoline to run it and some firewood for the corner fireplace, in case the electric goes out again this winter. I am ready this year.
i love all your pictures. =)
I’ve spent most of the past two days inside, playing Xbox with 3 friends at one of their houses, and then spending the rest of that waking time in the heart of town. It’s nice to see some natural beauty.
I’ve seen/heard enough rants in the recent past. These pictures soothe the eye and the soul. And is that really enough wood to last you through the winter?
Thanks. I liked the pictures today and you are right, the rant and the pictures don’t coincide.
Hope you feel more like yourself soon. Feeling like somebody else is the pits…
@wixer - We aren’t sure how efficiently the new woodstove will heat the place. We have never needed more than five cords for a winter. They keep saying this one will be mild, but it got cold earlier than ever before. The answer to your question: ???
Lots of work, but Koji enjoyed himself ‘helping’
Lovely photos.
