Stone Walls and Firewood

Today is September 11 … 9 whole years after the catastrophe, and I can’t believe it has been that long. The Chamber of Commerce organized the annual memorial walk around the loop tonight. It was a beautiful evening and there was a fabulous turnout.

My day was really wonderful, as was just about everyone’s who was in Jackson, NH today, I am sure! The weather was Perfect-with-a-capital-“P”, and I spent the day doing two of my favorite things in the whole world: Splitting & Stacking firewood; and Building a Stone Wall! I am convinced that if everyone occupied themselves with those activities occasionally, there would be no need for therapists! I am tired to be sure, but it is the best kind of tired, and I haven’t felt this good in quite a long time. With temperatures dipping down into the crisp numbers at night these days, it won’t be long before we’ll be burning the fireplace and needing some of this wood!
