Yesterday I bought a log splitter to make a start on splitting up the large pile of logs that the Lad had cut up with the chain saw.
I love how, when everything is perfect, the axe 'bites' and the log cleaves in one go and with little effort. I love the pile of split wood as it grows and grows.
I love the thought of the heat that the wood will generate later in the year as the weather nips off and we load up the wood heater.
I love how it makes you take time to appreciate how beautiful wood is.
I love how it makes me feel strong.
Well, you are in the right place, then. Rural areas are well populated with 'weird' people! :)
ReplyDeleteWe had some rain today!! It's been a while. My shrubs have been very, very droopy. I'm hoping there will be enough to perk them up again. The butcher birds and chooks were a bit shocked with the strange stuff falling from the sky.
Rain? What's rain? Glad someone is getting some rain!
DeleteNah your not mad...well at least I don't think loving splitting wood is mad - personally I love the smell.
ReplyDeletePhew! Or maybe we are both mad? You are right, the smell is wonderful.
