A good friend from a farm back our road cut down a couple of maple trees and said that I could look at the wood and decide if I wanted it. I told him that I was sure that I would want it. He said that the trees are silver maples. I got a good start on the job and am looking forward to hauling this wood home. Two years ago, I hauled five or six pick of loads of wood from the same farm after the power company dropped two very large trees. I don't know what kind of trees they were. The bark was thick and stayed wet but the wood burnt really well this past winter. We burnt it for weeks and I still have more for next winter.
What looks like mud is mostly left over corn silage from a trench that they had in the same area last year. Fortunately, it's not manure but rotten silage can smell just as bad.
The plywood and 2x4s are from a tree house that the farm boys built. Fortunately, they didn't put many nails or screws into the tree and I was able to avoid them with my saw.
They were able to dig out the stumps. They flipped them upside down. I think the large stump on the right was from one of the trees that the power company dropped two years ago. My Civic looks a bit out of place on the farm. : )
