We got the wood this past Fall.  It is cut to length and stacked under a 
shed.  This is firewood for next winter, 2010 and maybe even 2011. It is 
currently in large rounds.  We did not split it because if we did, it 
would be too dry by 2010 and beyond. We will split enough for next 
winter starting in April or May, that will allow some time for it to 
season properly.   I don't know how to explain it better.
When Ron got sick last year, we were caught with no wood.  I am not able 
to go out and fell trees and haul wood home.  I can gather small wood 
and split wood here, though.  So, because we don't know what the future 
holds for his health we now have wood for the coming years, and even if 
the worst happens and the cancer returns, I will be able to split what 
we already have.

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will 
not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius 
will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the 
world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone 
are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve 
the problems of the human race"
