There's another row of wood behind this one and both rows extend beyond |
I asked the Buddha, "What did you do
before Enlightenment?"
Chop wood
Carry water
And what do you do after enlightenment?
Chop wood
Carry water

Getting ready for winter as it will be here next week. A lot of trees at the ranch decided to give up the ghost. Now the electric log splitter cometh forth. That log splitter is neat and I can handle it. I can't do the axe thing. Wimp.
I grew up with woodpiles and they were significant in my life...... kinda like electric lights were to some people. Hahaha Wood piles were a great place to climb to the top, sit and think. They were usually in the shape of a mountain when the wood was split by hand and just thrown into a pile. There was also a saw dust pile whose fragrance would drive one into a wood nymphs ecstasy.
That was then but it's now. I didn't even light the stove once last winter. The thermostat seems to do the trick but it's reassuring to know there will be heat if a solar flare hits or TSHTF for any other reason.
Do you do the wood thing?
