The Wisconsin Winter Wood Pile

Wood Splitter

Wood Splitter in Action

Pictured above is one of the many large wood piles in our area. This one will not be heating a single home, but you probably guessed that. This is firewood for sale  in the Rice Lake area. Good thing he's not trying to split it by hand.

This wood pile is part of what's been prepared for a single home.

I was a bit distracted while taking this photo because a huge German Shepherd, looking a lot like my Bridger (does one say, 'my late dog' when referring to a dog that has died??) Anyway, he came running to the edge of the yard, barking like crazy. Reminded me of the good old days when my German Shepherd would do the same. He scared almost everyone who came into the yard. Because he was mean? No, but only because he growled and barked and was a German Shepherd. Remember all those Nazi movies with the German Shepherd lunging at the end of his lead? I think that's what does it. Only the UPS man wasn't afraid of him because he knew, raised, and loved German Shepherds. That fact didn't keep Bridger from barking at him. It was part of his GSD job.

I won't post yet another photo of my dog, but if you want to see him, you can scroll down to the bottom of my blog. 

Mr. C., braving the cold and wind, to keep the fire going.

What a good man!

We are keeping the fire going, although that photo was taken a while back and we're getting a reprieve from the cold January temperatures. It's been in the20s and 30s. Feels like a heat wave.

I'm writing this Sunday evening. I just realized that it's 4:30 PM and still light outdoors. That thought brought me instant cheer. Springtime is on its way!

 Only a few months away...
probably in mid May
