Writing Accountability Post #19--Back to the Forest

Seasonal shifts come quickly. This year's late spring has had several effects on things, including how quickly we get back into the forest to cut firewood—which, of course, also affects my productivity. Actually, we also had a family visit, which meant not only preparing but spending a glorious day in the woods, including getting some absolutely gorgeous shots. But I slipped out of the habit of doing my daily to-do list, which of course also impacted my overall productivity. Plus, getting back into shape for woodcutting—the first day was hot, which always slows both of us down. On the other hand, we're sixty-five and seventy-one, so just being able to get out into the woods and cut up already-dead trees is a significant victory. Especially when the dang trees don't cooperate, and fall so that hauling those chunks back to the pickup means a longer walk. In 80-degree temps. At elevation. Nonetheless, we survived. Next week's firewood cutting will be during cooler temperatures, yay.
