We were down to about two week's worth of wood at the house, so we brought up wood from the barn to get through the coming snow and cold spell. I can hardly wait to get out in the woods and start making wood for next winter.
We are staying in except for walking dogs, and anxiously waiting to see what we get in precip tomorrow. Might get another two inches, or more, depending how the storm blows through, then the really cold air moves in. It's getting better next week, though. Most of this snow has dissipated in a couple days through sublimation. We are not really doing any Old Grind right now. It is good to be retired!
The pond re-froze last night, and the silly geese were out there cooling their heels on ice today. They took off about 3 P, and I bet they are pushing south ahead of the Arctic air coming in.
The end of our 95 feet of stacked firewood!

This coming Sunday night will be the last of the below 35 temperature here in SE Georgia. I have about 2 wheelbarrow loads of wood left for the fireplace.
We had 95 feet of wood stacked 5 feet high in October. We will be finishing that stack by the weekend, and start on our reserve. We have three foster Schipperkes in the basement, so we are running both stoves, and that makes the wood go fast. Normally, we don't light the downstairs stove until the temps are in the twenties, and most winters aren't like the one we have now.
