Windstorm Windfall Workout ~ Sitting idle “working” at a desk all week gives me incentive to get a free workout when home maintenance tasks fall into my lap… Friday’s windstorm prompted me to cut three large branches from my neighbour’s tree that were threatening to drop on our cars if the wind overcame their aging ability to hang on to the old tree trunk. Today’s task was to clean up the small stuff into three yard waste bags and some into the fireplace and then cut up the three heavier branches by swede saw into wood stove size logs that can fit into our Napoleon airtight in the winter months. Stacked beside the house for now, where they can dry out before loading into the wood cellar. An old farmer friend told me that wood keeps you warm three times: once when you cut it, once when you stack it and once more when you burn it.
