I have been having a lot of trouble breathing and sleeping during all this humidity and heat (83 in the shade and rising today, still) so when we get a load of firewood, my wife ends up doing the bulk of the work getting it into our woodshed. We got our last load for the season last night. Our neighbor was driving back from physical therapy (he had a knee replacement) and saw that pile of wood out there. He went home and got his wife, then she drove back and got their daughter's boyfriend, too. I slept in as long as I could breathe, then got up to take a shower. When I got out of the shower about 11:15, Duke was woofing, so I got dressed and let him out to show him that there was nobody out there, and all the wood was in the shed, neatly stacked. Wow! There was nobody around, but I had suspects.
We took a ride to the "suspected wood-fairy" house, and sure enough, they had stacked that load of firewood (1-1/4 cord). Nice folks. I have been planning to take my tractor down to their place to till a recently-cleared plot of land for extra garden-spots, so they can plant stuff that typically takes up a lot of room, like potatoes and sweet corn. I'm waiting for a day when my wife is here to keep Duke company - hopefully when the humidity is bearable.
