which_chickCircular woodpiles do not appeal to my sense of aesthetics. At all. Single row woodpiles have fallen over twice. (I was not the person stacking them.) I can tolerate a lot of things, but a toppled woodpile is not one of them. The single-row woodpile I restacked (to get it out of the way of the grass I was trying to mow) lacked stability and would probably have fallen over, given time. Unacceptable, unacceptable, unacceptable. I restacked the woodpiles so that they were codependant. Each is unable to stand on its own, yet all remain upright through cooperative leaning. The overall effect is of a sturdy, non-rockable woodpile. This pleases me.
I mowed more seldom-mown lawn and ran the lawnmower out of gas. Tomorrow I'm going to finish with the woodpile stacking thing, so that all resized wood is stacked appropriately. The wood is being resized because I've upgraded from an open fireplace to a contained woodstove thingie. The fireplace that used to fit 30" wood now fits nothing that exceeds 15" in its largest dimension. Since I have leftover wood from last year, it needs to be resized so that I can use it this year. I have suckered my Aunt Dora's people into doing that for me (I am not a fan of chainsaws) because I drove her son Jon to college for a semester last spring and they owe me.
I'll also mow some more. I'd like to get done with the mowing before the weekend so that I can go die on my red horse without worrying that I'll have to look at excess greenery (brownery?) outside my damn windows all winter long because I'm too crippled to cut it.
