A Pile Of Firewood

It is a truism that firewood heats you twice – once, when you're cutting, splitting, and stacking it; and again when you burn it. Goodness knows I've proven that enough times over the past 50 years.

And so it is here at The Manse.

BeezleBub, the WP Father-In-Law, and I spent today putting the last of the firewood up. We now have enough to last until next spring. It's all been cut, split, dried, and almost all of it has been stacked in the garage and basement.

There's just something about a pile of firewood. To quote the WP Father-In-Law:

“Seeing stacked firewood somehow makes you feel secure about the coming winter. You don't get that with a full tank of heating oil or propane.”

Indeed.
