I
don't know if this is my OCD or simply a way to avoid doing other
things that require my attention, but I have been focusing on
finishing that year 2 woodpile, and it's looking pretty darn good.
You can tell you're in good shape when it looks like just a small gap
that needs filling in. As it stands there is plenty of wood to fill
the need if we finish year 1 and need to dip in, but hopefully year 1
will hold and we won't have to do that. Usually I have several things
going at once and I tend to neglect or forget about several of them
and they sit around unattended, haunting me and reminding me of my
impotence.
I
decided to just plow ahead and get at least one thing done. Sure,
it's at the expense of things that might require more immediate
attention, but at least one project will move forward to completion.
Then, if I'm looking at other projects that are incomplete, at least
I can say I got one thing done. I would like to point out that I was
able to make this amazing progress because of the help of the kids,
who did a lions share of the stacking. While I personally love to
stack wood (and cut and split it), it does take a lot of time, and
the kids do a great job. All I need to do is split it and they take
over, it's great.
Plus,
there's something special about looking at a nicely stacked pile of
wood; it makes you feel warm inside, especially when it's burning.
Until
the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to shockk for the pic.
