I had been cutting some standing dead ash and walnut, but I hadn't split any of it. Today I decided to get it split and stacked. Just getting started. Almost full, but ran out of time. When full it will stack out to a little over a cord Normally the brush isn't so tall around my stacks. This is at the bottom of a field in an old pig lot. I would usually bush hog it a few times a summer, but wasn't able to last year.
That looks my former neighbor's front lawn. (without the firewood ) son went away to college or service and the lawn just never got cut again, for quite a few years.
They did. New owner rents the place. The former owner also pulled all the landscaping plants and shrubs out . Painted the house bright blue. BRIGHT BLUE. Everyone who ever went up or down my road knew the BLUE HOUSE. Brighter than the twitter button on the bottom of the page. There's still <nothing> for landscaping but at least they cut the lawn every now and then. and it's no longer blue so I have no obvious landmark to give someone directions to my house beyond counting houses from the nearest street or watch mailbox numbers. Contrast that to my house next door that I keep planting trees and gardens to have less and less lawn to cut.
