Enough for Winter

I did some measuring this afternoon and concluded that I now have about 5.5 face cords of firewood ready to burn.  That's more than enough to get me through the winter, with leftover wood I can rack up for the following heating season.

The firewood area on Sept. 12.

I've also broken down quite a bit of cedar to use as kindling.  I'll probably continue to make kindling as time and weather permits.  I go through a lot of it.  I'll be firing up the stove before long.  It was 45º this morning at my house, and 34º at Posen (about 12 miles NW of me).  We are supposed to get some warm weather toward the end of this week, but it won't last! •••
