Wednesday Vignette: woodpile

Anna at Flutter and Hum brings us weekly vignettes, and this week I chose something that sort of illustrated how I feel right now:


My wood pile. It's a project half-started (some of the wood is split), not yet finished (the wood isn't stacked), has been sitting around for a month or more, and there's no real urgency to complete it due to mild weather. It's still quite interesting though.

This is a pretty good analogy for all of my outdoor projects right now -- of which there are many.




(Jobs usually look better when you get into the middle of them, "up close" you might say...)

Glad that there's no urgency though, and hoping that I won't have to use a single stick of this wood this winter...


More vignettes at Flutter and Hum!

  1. (Jobs usually look better when you get into the middle of them, "up close" you might say...) - haha, no one ever spoke a truer word! I have so many projects that benefit from close-ups - my house and garden in particular. ;) I especially love the last two photos - very beautiful. Happy Thanksgiving, Alan!

  2. So is the wood a back-up heat source? I too hope you won't need that! Have a good Thanksgiving...

  3. Anna: Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

    Loree: Yes, it's for our wood stove. If the high temp for the day is 40ºF or above we can't use the stove -- makes it too hot inside! Happy Thanksgiving!

  4. The last two shots are especially nice, showing the textures of the wood! Funny, a high of 40 here is cold and if it's clear, usually it means freezing temperatures at night. Hope you have a happy and warm Thanksgiving!

  5. I, too, feel like this is a metaphor for my life. But, I threw my hands up this year and said to heck with it! I'll deal with it next year :) Happy Thanksgiving!
