We're still some time away from serious mud season, that wicked time when the firmament liquefies and inhales children and small automobiles.
Nonetheless, we have to be cautious. We keep the path to the woodpile clear of snow. As the strengthening March sunshine works on the open ground, the earth softens and is ready to trap an unsuspecting wheelbarrow wheel.
So, we have to make sure that when it's time to refill the wood rack by the back door, we do our hauling when the ground has frozen again. If we can finish by nine in the morning, we'll be ok. We have to fill the wood rack about once a week, so there's latitude in the scheduling. We'll have frozen mornings for at least a couple of months.
