That's a lot work my friend. I love heatin with wood though, just gettin to old to do itFinally got the Pile of wood off the Patio yesterday. Put a bunch of smaller diameter rounds in between the Properties to season. Have about 3 Face Cords all split and seasoning. Good part is the American Elm is already seasoned and good to burn.

Our mum passed away on March 30th. Me, Brother and Nephew took care of her while she had dementia for the last four years. It started about seven years ago, though. She was doing okay according to her, but living by herself really wasn't good for her at all, but just couldn't convince her to move in with brother and nephew. Finally convinced her four yesrs ago. She, of course, progressively got worse throughout the years and the last month (March) was the most struggle for her and us. She is finally resting with no pain, no struggles, she has peaceMom Update:
Since many of you lovely people will ask, I figured I would update you. So Mom wasn't doing too well and was having a hard time getting out of bed but eating very good. I had to use the Solo Lift to change her and stuff but she does not like that machine at all. Since I was telling her I hope she starts getting up so we can enjoy some Fires in the Pit and sit in the backyard I guess it sparked her to start working on building up her strength again~! She is getting up and standing using the walker to steady herself but that is progress for sure~! Like with Physical Therapy you have to go slow but she pushed herself too hard on Wednesday her legs hurt yesterday.
Looking forward to lots of nice times this Summer~!
