Today the Boy and I set out to tackle a basic but important project: sorting and storing all the wood Babcia had delivered in April. It’s largely to serve as kindling for coal-fed fires in the winter months, but during the short time that it’s not necessary to heat the whole house, the word heats the water.

Our job was to move and store the wood. And make a friend along the way:

We had an enormous pile with no before picture for comparison. All we have are pictures of all the various little corners we stored the wood.

And what with my little helper?
