The thing about having a pile of wood in your backyard, in plain sight of your office, is that you always want to get out there and get that sucker chopped. It sounds perverse, I know. Who would want to actually chop wood?

But knowing that the cold weather is on its way, I won’t feel relaxed until that pile is nothing but a long stack of neatly split firewood on our back deck. But you can’t chop in the rain and it’s done nothing but that since I got the wood a week ago.

Today, the sun came out so I ran out there and chopped for an hour. Then the dark clouds rolled in, so I packed it all up, covered it all with tarps and ran inside. Now, the sun is shining again. Ugh.

But there are dark clouds on the horizon, so I’m not playing the rain game anymore. I’m staying in and doing the dishes. Heck, I might even get some writing done.

Now, that’d be a shocker.
