Henry David Thoreau One said something like “every person looks at their wood pile with a certain affection”… (He actually used “man” and “his”) … And that’s certainly true. There’s something about having to stack five or 6 quart of wood… Invariably on the hottest day of the year. But very few things are as satisfying. Somebody else said that heating with wood warms you twice… Once when you cut it and once when you burn it… I’d make that three times because stacking it is no easy chore. Hunter, Kyle , Diane and I Got started on the pile this morning around 8 AM. It was already in the mid 80s outside. It actually went fairly quickly… We have good music and even had a fan to keep the bugs away.… There are a few things as satisfying as creating that much order out of chaos… It actually Defies natural law.

It was so much fun I will share the process with you

Hard to think of it now… But we will really appreciate our collective efforts in the middle of winter about six months from now.

Night all, night Sam
