The Saudi Arabia of wood

In defense of a school's decision to switch to biomass heating, a man in Northern New Hampshire recently suggested the region should stop buying oil from foreign sources. He called our region "The Saudi Arabia of wood." Here are some recent pictures of our wood work as we prepare for the next few heating seasons with our favorite type of fuel, grown on our own land, as well as cut and split with our own hard work.

Of course, trees are great in their own right. Here are a red maple and paper birch doing just fine in our still pleasant early summer. Lows some mornings in the last week were below 40 degrees.
