stockpiling

It has been a pretty driech day today but I did get out for a short walk and then got two more barrows of wood moved into the woodshed. There is plenty more to go! I like this job - using my muscles to ferry the wood and to stack it neatly, and being in the old stable, where I can imagine the horses once breathing steamily and chomping on their hay. These are D's gloves, which are having a rest for a few weeks :-)

It's Candlemas, so I took down the wreath from the front door and the evergreens from the mantlepiece. I also (belatedly) made a St Brigid cross to replace last year's, which is now all brown. I've put it by the front door.
