No Room at the Inn...er..woodshed

I should have been packing today, or at least getting organized to pack, but when opportunity knocks....

There's been a fire interface (fuel management) project on some crown land just to the north of our little subdivision. This is where a crew comes in and removes all the dead or dying trees and lots of the little stuff in the hopes that if there ever is a fire, there is less chance of it spreading, or perhaps spreading as fast.

This project is generating lots and lots of firewood, as you might imagine. Our woodshed is full, because we've spent the past month or so hauling and chainsawing dead trees and Catherine has been splitting. We finished filling the woodshed just the other day. This new wood was just so easy to get - back a trailer up to the pile, chainsaw off the pieces and throw them in. Drive down the road about 200 meters to our place and stack the wood ..... well, where, exactly? I ended up piling it up outside the woodshed and covered it with a tarp. It can stay there until spring.

I guess tonight and tomorrow morning, early, I really should get packed.
