Got a message from an old friend today. His mom passed. Such sad news. It’s a tough thing to go through. I have good memories of the lady. She was nice, and very likeable. I wish the whole family well.
It’s been a busy day. I took the kids to their bus, came home and did the dishes, then had a little time to relax. Soon I was up and cleaning up the cast iron shelf and all the iron on it. It was a bundle of work. After that, I got to work on the firewood pile. While out there I put the chainsaw to the willow tree and trimmed it down some along the bottom. I think it will have a nice little room under it next year so long as I keep the new starts from intruding.
Okay, it did not take long to write about the day, but it was a lot of work.
The bummer of the wood is that it is from the tree that was out back of the house. I can see why a woodpecker was going to town on it. There were a lot of worms up there. That tree was in pretty bad shape. I am keeping the wood outside on the tractor bucket. I don’t want to bring any of it inside till it is time to burn it. Don’t want the insect life crawling around the house.
I need to put some of the cast iron out in storage. The iron shelf is much cleaner and clearer now. It is nice. It sure makes me happy.
Anyway, it is time for bed.
