Without a family, man, alone in the world, trembles with the cold.
Andre Maurois
Not even 9 AM yet. Cat fed watered, kindling made , fire started, snow gathered, 4 20 foot boards cut in half, while the door was wide open. No choice 12 foot room 20 foot boards.
This morning felt colder way colder, sucked the air from my lungs. I gathered a big bowl of snow like I mentioned, then went back and hauled a lot of boards. Yes I did fall once.
I got them most of the way inside and had to cut and wrestle them until I could close the door again.
Soon I will need to saw some into firewood but not now. My kettle was hot and I needed the coffee.
Yup I had to cut some wood. I cut at least 30 feet. Then made kindling. The fire was out again.
Did I mention boards burn really fast.
Almost 4PM.
I came down to check on the fire. It was almost out. The firewood was almost out, so I did what needed doing. I hand cut another ten foot board.
5:30 PM. Cat feeding time. Fire needed more wood. I cut another 30 feet of board. My saw is getting dull. Remind me to order another.
