Getting Ready for Winter

I hate to think about it but winter will be here before you know it. The Farmer's Almanac is predicting a harsh and below normal cold winter. Do we believe them? I guess we will just deal with whatever comes our way. I am starting to get ready though because Cory and Krista split some firewood today. I called the young man that usually stacks for me but this year he doesn't have time to help me out. So tonight I went out and moved a little bit of it. Between my back arthritis and sore legs, I figure it should take me about 6 months to move all the wood. Hmm, that's all fall and winter! Looks like I'll be moving all this wood twice, once into semi-neat piles and then into the house! This is five trailer loads in the backyard.

This is my pathetic start at stacking the wood. As you can see, Isabeau is NO help at all. Little did I know she was going to take a supervisory position.
