Dear reader, I may have lived long enough to see everything - now wood pirates.
Do you recall this image from the last post? This is where I left the tree. It was in the same condition four days ago.
Today, Mr. Chainsaw and I sauntered over to cut a little more wood. Lo and behold, no tree. There was the sound of a chainsaw on Thanksgiving morn but Mr. Fuzzy assumed it was some distance away but apparently not so. Here is what Rocky the dog and Mr. Fuzzy beheld:
That oak was already dry and ready to burn - and Mr. Fuzzy might add he was counting on it to fill out his woodpile for the winter. A hard blow indeed.

How disappointing! On your own land! I can't quite picture where on your driveway this tree was located...I thought one had toppled in a storm near the shop/henhouse/compost pile area, but wood pirates wouldn't have been THAT bold! Perhaps they will feel guilty and return the wood, neatly stacked if you put out the word to all you know that this has transpired. Alas. Stay warm this winter Mr. Fuzzy.
Thanks, Lausanne... its behind the barn on our neighbor's land - they live in CT and I manage their 15 acres for them. Might be time to put a lockable gate up. Good fire going tonight.
Sorry you lost part of you winter supply....must have been a shock to see it.
Judy,
It was more of a shock to NOT see it!
