Oh, if only! If it actually happens, I'm giving you total credit via your rain dancing efforts for us!<br /><br />Hi, Judy - Yes, my husband has a penchant for backing up to the wood stove. So much so that he has more than one singed garment to show for it! (Some people never learn.)<br /><br />Hi, Claire - This is the first year I can ever remember having so much put by so early in the season. The two wood sheds are enough wood for two years of intense cold weather and possibly close to three if we have a couple of mild winters.

There's nothing like backing up to the woodstove when it's nasty cold outside. And the wood splitter is a dream come true for us. Hubby loves it so much, he splits all the wood and then we both stack. I've never had a tick, hope never to have one.Judy D in WAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09701249059016985117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-23491410112636079622010-04-27T13:10:15.655-05:002010-04-27T13:10:15.655-05:00We had a gusher of a storm last night, and I immed...We had a gusher of a storm last night, and I immediately thought of you all and how much I wish I could send it your way - right up until the intense cloud to ground lightning started, that is! You definitely don't need that combined with the dry tinder conditions... I have your area on my mobile weather alert thingie and know that I will be doing a rain dance for you this evening (my kids already think I am a wacko, so this won't phase them at all!)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-36714664667482328042010-04-27T12:44:39.412-05:002010-04-27T12:44:39.412-05:00Hi, Erin - Haha!

I will consider myself an accomplished gardener when I manage to grow enough tomatoes to can for the year . . . which probably won't happen until we have a greenhouse.<br /><br />Thanks for the compliment on my new header photo. We sure do desperately need rain to green up the scene.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-58084232730463479472010-04-27T11:10:59.184-05:002010-04-27T11:10:59.184-05:00The woodsheds look awesome!

First tick ever? Wow - we have all had at least 4 by the start of summer every year, yuck! Ticks & Roaches are the only two things that will completely sicken me.

Although we have no more room in the wood sheds, we'll let you cut it up and stack it out in the sunshine to dry all summer. :o)<br /><br />Hey, Katie - For sure, wood does split much easier when it's frozen! Before we had a wood splitter and did all the splitting by hand (and ax!) we preferred doing it in the winter.<br /><br />Hiya, JJ - People are saying the ticks are really bad this year but this was the first one on our property . . . and on me!<br /><br />Hey, ThyHand - I hope you get your wood stove soon. There really is nothing like the warmth burning wood gives off.<br /><br />Hi, Jody - Yeah, something weird that I've never had a tick attack my succulent (!) body before considering if there is a mosquito or black fly within 5 miles, it will find me before anyone else!<br /><br />Hey, Fiona - For you m'dear, have chainsaw, will travel!<br /><br />Hi, Beth - Believe you me, I'm getting a LOT of feel goods every time I look at those wood sheds!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-17552616171607341372010-04-27T09:36:16.504-05:002010-04-27T09:36:16.504-05:00congratulations!!!!That IS something to "crow...congratulations!!!!That IS something to "crow about"!!<br />Sorry about the tick.
