When ...Oh - the sight of that wood makes me cringe. When I was a kid, the house we lived in was a bit of an oddity.The kitchen was an addition, and it wasn't heated by the furnace. The only source of heat was a pot bellied wood stove. So... every October, before he left for moose hunting, Dad would have 10 cords of wood delivered (dumped in the middle of the driveway) and while he was splitting the larger pieces with the axe, it was up to my brother and I to stack it all on the enclosed back porch. It took days - and I hated every minute of it. <br /><br />However, when I met Dave, and he first took me to his cottage, he was very impressed by my wood stacking skills.Wanderingcatstudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459444703722115118noreply@blogger.com
