The Things I've Been Doing Lately...

splitting a face cord and-then-some of Oak and Maple for the fireplace. All split by hand with a double bit axe, an 8 pound sledgehammer, and a wedge. No fancy hydraulic splitters here.

The outside stacks...
All wind-fallen Maple from the yard...


Mostly Oak, wind-fallen...


Oak, mostly dry, but still a little green....


Dry Oak from last year...


Today, Nancy and I went for a ride in the car. She found out about a small waterfall that's a half hour away. We took off around 11:00 a.m. and headed north.
We drove deep into the Chequamegon National Forest, and soon drove past...

And into the parking lot


We walked the half mile path through the woods, over 5 little bridges over small streams...


A little more walking path...


Shhhhh.... sensitive plants...


The falls.
