I heard the news that we were supposed to have a hot day today. Ergo, I started my wood shed project as early as I could manage it. Here's what it looked like before I started...   Tsk, tsk. A shameful lack of tidy. I don't know how I let it get so messy. Anyway, I decided to take it down to the bare bones. A black widow died during this process. So did a small nest of wasps. I feel no remorse.   I put all the small wood that I threw off the truck yesterday into the shed and stood back to admire my work.. [the boxes have kindling in them]. The small limb wood will make good early fall fires when you just want to take the chill off the house in the morning. Though I must admit, it's hard to think about putting Bruce into action any time soon. After I did this job, I trimmed some dead branches out of the trees on the north side of the house and hauled some things to the burn pile. I was sweating like a dock worker by this time and had to take a shower in self defense. But by golly, my wood shed is in order. Oh, and just to end this entry on a more aesthetic  note, here's my little lemon tree forest as of yesterday afternoon.... Isn't it adorable?
