Stacking Wood

My 2 younger sons just love to stack the wood on the front porch - NOT!!  They've been fighting over who does what.  One likes to take the wood off the hay wagon and dump it onto the porch but not actually stack it because he figures that he can't do it well enough - he's not a details guy, at least not for stacking wood.  The other would rather take his time and stack it just so, thereby driving the first one crazy with his pickiness and each one thinks that the other is doing less work.  To me, their differences seem like a match made in heaven - one empties the wagon first and the other one stacks later.  That way, they're not getting in each other's way, holding each other up and the stacker can be as fussy as he likes.  Besides, fussy stacking is good.  Last year, the stacking wasn't done as well and the pile fell over and then it will roll everywhere.

It helps to have big sister, home from university and full of enthusiasm.  'Miss Enthusiasm' knows that she doesn't have to do this very often since she's seldom home at this time of year.

 I'm surprised at how much wood we've used already this year and it's been a very mild year with very little snow compared to most years.  You can see the new, freshly cut wood going up and over the older wood.  We only cut up fallen trees or cut down dead trees.
