Wood time

It's frosty all of a sudden:

But the cupboard is bare...

That means it's time to get wood (no rude jokes please)!

Well, it's a start, but we'll need much more...


Annoying sidenote: this wood is TOO GREEN! It's hissing as it burns on the fire. This means that our chimney will rapidly clog with a tarry substance and, just as it's coldest and people are least likely to want to climb on our roof, the chimney will totally clog and the fire will be unusable. Argh - why can't people not lie about their wood being "kiln dried"? However, my cries of rage spurred Jami into a frenzy of Googling and YouTubing and she discovered a whole firewood-related subculture, full of handy hints like "use an old tyre/tire when you're splitting logs and you won't be always bending over!" and "make a solar-powered log-drying lean-to in your back yard!" So it will be a busy spring. In the meantime, I have to scour Craigslist or stands on the side of side-roads for actually burnable wood.
