“Every man looks upon his woodpile with a sort of affection.” ~Henry David Thoreau
In this case I think it’s understandable, this one is a beauty with a lot of charm – you know, for a wood pile! Once our regular wood storage was full Steve decided to get a bit creative with the over-flow and, along with Iain and Elijah, spent a portion of last week building a holzhausen. This is an old-fashioned, European, beehive shaped stack- practical for a number of reasons, but artful as well.
Later in the week we were entertaining house guests from out of state; old friends that we cherish dearly, but scarcely get to see.
So I stumbled upon your blog via the ravelry post ‘Scrappy Gnome Hat’. I have to confess that I have spent an exceptionally long time today reading older posts. I’m hooked! I’m a new mama ( little guy is 9 weeks today) and an obsessive knitter. We had a home birth, use cloth diapers and I’m always trying to get a reason to bake something yummy. Anyway, I love reading your posts and adore your birthday sweaters!
