Kindling My neighbor watched. Despite the dark that from a house looks out when daylight, the placement of her chair was such that let me notice. At first I guessed, "It's just the sound the axe makes when with each stroke I break the quiet of her thoughts." Slowly, though, as work progressed from splitting heavy rounds of oak into lengths compatible with my wood stove to the softer touch of hatchet use when making kindling, she seemed to glance up from her book more often.

So she likes the softer sounds that the warm will make... you probably reminded her of someone fair...  Good morning, Robert. |

Bob, There really is only one way to tell for sure...you are going to have to send me a pic of you doing such a chore and let me decide....  Nice job! "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |
