Another rainy day. Before the rain started late morning I got one thing done. I woke up from a dream where the cattle broke into the corral. Upon waking I realized some strands of barb wire were not attached to fence posts in the north fence along my neighbor's property and I needed to fix this before the cattle found them and slipped through, as I let the cattle into my north pasture yesterday. I am trapping pocket gophers on the neighbor's land - or trying to, as all this wet weather caused the pocket gophers to stay deep underground. I have been slipping through the fence in a few places where the wire is not completely attached. So just before the rain started I fixed this.
Prior to today I have picked up my split firewood. I got most of it stacked in the pole shed. The rest of the firewood I stacked under the patio by the house. The pole shed - where I stack firewood - is now full. This is the first time that has ever happened. I had it almost full going into Winter a few times in the past, but never this much. I'm continuing to split logs and stack the firewood in the patio. I have more logs to split from the back yard to make room for more logs from the pastures. If it ever stops raining I can get this done.
The stack of firewood in the pole shed measures 6 ft across, 18 ft long and at the highest, 10 ft tall. A cord of wood is 4 ft by 4 ft by 8 ft. Based on cubic volume I believe I have about 8 cords of wood stacked in the pole shed, which should be more than enough to last me all Winter.
