Its a a twice a week or so ritual where we use a garden cart to transfer about 1000 pounds of wood into the house for our heat. As Diane and I \u00a0piled the wood into the cart this morning it was almost 40 degrees.. which is pretty amazing considering this week is normally one of our coldest of the year.. It&#8217;s not unusual\u00a0\u00a0for it to be \u00a0-20 on a morning in the first week of Feb.. thats almost 60 degrees colder than now. The season has been freakishly warm and snowless.. So much so that we have used less than half the wood we normally would have used by this time &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_7229.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We also took about a five mile hike.. not much snow.. but plenty of ice.. it was beautiful in a bleak november-ish kind of way.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Screen-Shot-2016-02-06-at-8.02.39-PM.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\\<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_7220.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_7225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_7226.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our one accomplishment today .. also wood related&#8230; was steeped in nostalgia for me.. I&#8217;d built a\u00a0rain shed for our pizza oven out of the relics of the 25 year old climber thing all three boys grew up on.. it blew over in a windstomrm last month.. today we went out to survey the damage and see if \u00a0we could mcguyer it back together one more time.. no such luck.. the damage was just too much. As I unscrewed and sawed the pieces apart I kept thinking of all the fun we all had on that thing in its various\u00a0\u00a0forms.. how many underdogs, home many kickball wars, how many doggymeats (long story.. a dumb song we sang while we swung).. i sang the doggymeat song as I sawed through the last rung as we rendered the thing into pieces..<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_7231.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_7232.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_7233.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>not to fear though.. the good pieces we saved.. and I&#8217;ll definitely build something else with the relics.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_7234.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>we always do..<\/p>\n<p>nite all, nite sam<\/p>\n<p>-me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Folks..\u00a0I beg your indulgence..
