The reason we don’t burn fires in the kitchen unless it is under 40 is because it takes so much work to move the wood around. First you saw it up. Then you move the bog logs. Then you season it. Then you split it. Then you stack it. Then it moves from the res she to the porch. Finally it ends up in the kitchen on fire.
There are several cords in the red shed in a double stack up to the ceiling. Time for winter.

Three different days. Three different snakes. This eastern black snake was on the trail by the river.
This long black racer lives under the red shed. We see him pretty often.
This rat snake was also on the trail by the river.
It’s funny how non-poisonous snakes act all dangerous and really dangerous snakes just disappear.
What do you do in Spring?

Prepare for winter of course. No rest for the pattern bound on this planet.
Firewood in the red shed.
Remember that tree? Well it has been almost completely consolidated.
Spring light on the winter woodpile.
It’s not just winter we get ready for in Spring. We have to get ready for summer too.
Freshly weedeaten and tilled. Way too early to plant though.
Dirt.
And the summer solstice fire is growing. (Thanks to the tree.) Architecture by Allen.
Solstice fire at 2/3rds ready.
