FIREWOOD: THE HEFT, THE HEAVE

As over the years I've hefted and heaved firewood into the house in wind, snow, rain and just plain cold clarity, like this morning (great natural exercise), the pressure has grown steadily stronger for me to say - until I can no longer remain silent on this point - that one of my wisest utilitarian purchases ever was the nylon firewood tote from Lehman's ideal store. There. Now I can relax. In front of the warm woodstove.
