| Picture of a dead ash that was blown across Mills Highway west of Eaton Rapids. Picture taken early December 29, 2025. |
It was not windy today.

| About an hour's worth of effort. Five, 8' posts and seven, 4' "fatties". There are two more 8' posts still in the woods. |

| About 100 pounds of wood and my tools set for the 250 yard drag back to the house. I stopped a couple of times on the way back to catch my breath. |
I keep seeing more and more dead trees as I spend more time in the woods. Standing, dead-trees (aka, "snags") are not necessarily a bad thing but I don't want to be near them when it is windy.
I always see more dead trees in the winter. The spring leaves come out and hide the dead ones in the summer.

Snags (aka widow-makers) are some of the best immediate-use firewood, as they are usually several years dead and well dried. I culled one from the woods this weekend and that stuff burns like coal!
