Wood in the Woodshed
The woodshed is full of wood collected from the property and sawed up ready for the log burner. Winter is never far away. And who knows - with New Zealand's peculiar weather, firewood could be needed anytime!
why are you peering into our woodshed?
Part of my job in the garden is to organise trees that need tidying up, the felled branches to be turned into logs. Then I collect them in my wheelbarrow and stack them to dry, before putting them in the woodshed.
Weather Footnote
Our winter daytimes are not severe - temperatures range from seven to twelve degrees Celsius. But there are some summer surprises. For example, on New Year's Day, 2007, in the very middle of New Zealand's supposed summer, we had to have the log burner going in the house. Brr....
Two Corners of the Woodshed
We are lucky that there's usually enough wood on the property to keep the home fires burning. Trees are thinned, trimmed, some fall down, some are felled, others die - that sort of thing. Yippee for the chainsaw!
