I can't believe I stacked the whole cord...
This year's firewood was a bit of a production, but it has come to a suitable conclusion. I asked for 16" wood, but was given 16-18". After I told the person that the 18" wouldn't fit into my stove (the doors are narrow), he offered to come back today and cut the long pieces shorter. So I spent a couple hours last night stacking all the short stuff I could see and when I got home this afternoon, the wood was in a pile of sawdust and short ends, so I concluded that he had come and gone. Because it looked like (more) rain, I stacked the remainder and got all the little bits chucked into a corner of the woodshed to become kindling and swept the pavement and dumped the sawdust. Whew! I am going to be sore again tonight. I think two days is the fastest I've ever stacked a cord. Quite a messy stacking job, if I do say so myself, but since the wood is green, it will dry better by being loosely stacked.
I had been planning to check on my garden, but after all the stacking, decided to stay home and go online instead. One bright spot: I did finish a short Lost fic featuring Daniel and Juliet (not shippy). It needs a little more polishing--the zinger needs more zing before I post it--but at least the first draft's done.
