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)

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.
Cistus,
Jara or steppe are the common names of various plants, most of the genus Cistus, and some of other genera, such as Halimium. They are usually part, sometimes important, of the Mediterranean garrigas, and some species behave as pioneers in the recovery of degraded soils. They are pyrophytes, their germination is favored by fire, and recurrent fires help their permanence by eliminating competition from other plants that would eventually displace them from biotopes. Some species, such as C ladanifer or C laurifolius are resinous, which favors burning although they are green.
They are always evergreen, shrubby, woody plants. The flowers are regular, hermaphroditic and with five large, often wrinkled petals that easily fall from the flower. Its numerous stamens produce a large amount of pollen, which attracts many insects, such as bees that produce honey from jara. Its fruits are capsules formed by 5 or 10 carpels, which open at maturity in 5 or 10 cavities with numerous seeds. The wood of Cistus ladanifer, being very hard, is used in the manufacture of small tools or parts that are going to suffer great friction, and it is also excellent as firewood.

Suelen ser parte, a veces importante, de las garrigas mediterráneas, y algunas especies se comportan como pioneras en la recuperación de suelos degradados. Son pirófitos, su germinación se ve favorecida por el fuego, y los incendios recurrentes ayudan a su permanencia al eliminar la competencia de otras plantas que acabarían por desplazarlas de los biotopos. Algunas especies, como C ladanifer o C laurifolius son resinosas, lo que favorece que ardan aunque estén verdes.
Son siempre plantas perennifolias, arbustivas, leñosas. Las flores son regulares, hermafroditas y con cinco grandes pétalos a menudo arrugados que caen fácilmente de la flor. Sus numerosos estambres producen gran cantidad de polen, que atrae a muchos insectos, como las abejas que producen miel de jara. Sus frutos son cápsulas formadas por 5 o 10 carpelos, que se abren a la madurez en 5 o 10 cavidades con numerosas semillas. La madera de Cistus ladanifer, por ser durísima se usa en la fabricación de pequeñas herramientas o piezas que vayan a sufrir gran rozamiento, y es también excelente como leña.
I discovered this pile of stacked wood somewhere near Franschhoek…just had to take a photo of it. 😊
Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone!
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.
Feuerholz ist wichtig zum Heizen und für Lagerfeuer. Es gibt Hartholz (z.B. Buche, Eiche) und Weichholz (z.B. Fichte, Tanne), wobei Hartholz langsamer brennt und mehr Wärme liefert. Gut getrocknetes und richtig gelagertes Holz sorgt für optimale Brennqualität. Bei der Auswahl sollte auch auf Nachhaltigkeit geachtet werden.
