Yep:
Spring sneaks up on us & the to do list always has one more thing that needs added.
Good thing some of the "to-do list" has some fun stuff on it.

Bon fire time here soon too. Before the burn ban goes in effect. Some big brush piles
to burn soon as the snow melts out of it. One of the "fun" things. :)
 
Holy cow Jay, folks don't start mowing grass around here until usually about April 25.

Just keep on stacking; it isn't so bad after a while except for all the danged bending.

lol said I would never stack sure hope it pays off, and my neighbor likes the looks of stack much better so if I use less than 10 cords this year it will be worth it.

I really didnt think about that til the neighbor said how nice it look.lol will be stuck stacking forever!
 
Hmmm . . . splitting and stacking are my favorite jobs . . . well maybe next to loading the stove, sitting back and watching the fireworks. I find the repetition to be a good stress reliever and enjoy finding the right spot for each split -- a task made even more important I find when building a holtz miete where it seems it is more crucial to have the right piece in the right place.
