Firewood
A rainy day! Good for working on websites. Of course I plan to do some vacuuming too. And researching for Rozsa the cat’s favourite freeze dried morsels. And check online to see what my electricity bill is. That takes courage.
I did read just yesterday in Divine Intimacy that “…courage will come from the Holy Spirit…” My electricity rate has increased considerably. And I have been using electric heat still. There are some other matters that require courage now too. Family relations and health matters.
Back to electricity… Since the weather has been warming I have not been using the wood stove. I was thinking about next winter though.
And… last week one afternoon I was walking down the street and a truck passed. The driver waved. The truck was loaded with firewood. I thought “hey!” to myself but by the time I turned around, the truck was gone.
I walked up to the next cross street and saw no sign of the truck. Up to the lane next where I saw the grass was flattened. And I heard the sound of wood being unloaded. Two houses in I found Edward pitching wood off his truck.
We agreed on 2 loads of larch. He delivered it all within days. Beautiful dry larch. I have put some away and the rest is under tarps just inside the front gate. When the sun comes back, I shall resume moving it into the woodshed. And when the shed is full, I can arrange it on boards and a pallet that is still usable.
It is a great relief to have secured wood so early in the year.
