So I have a large pile of wood by the boiler left over from the past winter. I am in the process of stacking it so as to make it easier to cover and pull from. All was gowing well until about a third of the way through the pile. That's when I heard it. I pulled a stick of oak, and the pile growled from deep inside. Not sure if I heard right, I pulled another stick....yep, the pile is growling at me. So either there is a stick of oak, or perhaps even a rowdy maple that is very content being where it is in the pile, or I have a trespasser of the furry four legged type that has taken up residence. I see no entrance to the pile. I dug out some supplies today that I may need in the near future. 22's, and tomato juice. I'll keep you posted....
