Just a small part of our firewood pile at the side of our garage. This wood is from the trees (poplar, I think) that have been cut down around our yard over the years. We don't burn wood in the house anymore like we used to. That all came to a halt one night when we had a close call and the wood stove pipe/chimney turned a bright red and nearly caused a fire. I am a nervous nelly when it comes to having fires burning in the house. We need to splurge on a new chimney before we burn wood in the house again. I am happy as it is to not have a new chimney and save the fires for the campfire pit after that last scare.
Our Thanksgiving is this weekend and it is looking like it will be nice weather here (in Canada)...maybe we will even throw a campfire in there sometime after the turkey and pumpkin pie. Have a great weekend everyone and a very Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians. Cheers!
Burning our tree that was out front the was dying and I cut down in Fall. No more pretty blossoms ... but making for a neat series of burning wood.
Using the 300 prime and extender as a near macro lens works well so you do not have to get too close the fire.
Hope you enjoy.
Firewood stacked for seasoning with the sun setting on the opposite side. (still having fun with diffuser filter)

(since we started tracking this statistic on April 19, 2006)
Every year - usually from fall until spring - we split and pile about 75 cords of firewood at the farm and sell it as a side hustle for some extra cash. Anybody who does this knows that it isn't really a small job and takes quite a bit of time and manpower. It would be easier getting the job done by using a wood splitting machine but silly husband of mine isn't ready to hang up his axe yet and continues to split it all by hand. Last years woodpile didn't get finished when he broke his back in March but when October came around he picked up that axe again and got right back at it. And yes, he was sore but he never complained about it because he said he felt better moving around than sitting around. This year there is less cords than usual (about 50 this year) but it’s ok to be slow and steady if you need to be. When this gets finished, which is soon, it will be time to get ready to start planting our crops.
I hope everyone has had a great weekend. Thanks for your visit.

I discovered this pile of stacked wood somewhere near Franschhoek…just had to take a photo of it. 😊
Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone!
Time to get off of the beach and get real once again. Gathering up wood to split, stack and dry for the Winters fire wood. The wood came from trees that had fallen during a recent wind storm.
This giant old maple produces great color every Autumn. This tree has survived old age and storm damage, both resulting in large parts dying and being pruned away . Some of these branches have been gathered and stacked at the base of the tree for firewood. Word has it that the upcoming Winter will be cold.
