Free Firewood

Our neighbor up the street had a huge Bradford pear tree that sort of imploded on itself last week. We heard through the grapevine that he didn't want the wood; he was offering it free to anyone who would cart it off. Being the only house on the street still with an old fashioned, wood-burning fireplace, we jumped at the chance to get some free firewood.

David and Mom carted several loads of the big stuff down the street and began a neat little pile on the side of the garage. Dad came home and carted several more loads down the street. Then the homeowner jumped in to help. He loaded his pickup truck with most of the rest of the tree and helped us stack it higher and higher. We think we're probably well set for firewood this winter.
