I enjoy chopping logs or splitting wood for kindling.
Yesterday we were running low on sticks so I took the axe and some old planks
that had once formed a badly warped box and chopped a basket full. It was
immensely satisfying to chop the sticks into relatively even sizes and to
extract the well rusted nails without sustaining any injuries! There's a saying
that chopping wood warms you twice; once when you chop it and again when you
burn it and yesterday, that was definitely the case as although it was sunny,
the wind had a bite to it.
