PILLOWTALK: We Are Devo! (Deborah Goodwin)

[Tace]

It's very important to wear proper safety goggles

Oct. 26, 2011 (ShapeShiftas) -- The past few days I have been doing something I never would have done if I had stayed in the city. I have been splitting logs.

I am Woman, hear me roar! I can use Machinery! What stamina, what strength, what self-sufficiency! I am gonna' keep my family WARM this winter, and look good doing it, too!

My husband and I had put it off as long as we possibly could. It always snows by Halloween in Vermont, they say. It is definitely getting cold. We are burning through the wood from last year at an alarming rate already. We need at least 6 cords (however much THAT is), he says, and we have an oil furnace, too. We know people that have wood-burning furnaces and use ONLY wood, they go through like 15 CORDS!!!!!! (I think that must be an awful lot.)

And, this year it will be a huge hassle getting oil to our funace (thanks, honey, for taking care of all that!) so we are determined to use the magnificent masonry heater we have to do most of the heating. "Good practice, since the planet is running out of oil anyway," he says, to get me motivated.
