Lately I find myself noticing any falling branches and trees along the road. It's become quite a distraction, so I had to go on a stick hunt to get that out of my system. I keep thinking it will get too overgrown in a few weeks and finding a stash of stick will be easier now. So the other day, I packed my saw and pruning tool and headed out to some empty lots in the are. The photo shows the pile I came home with. Making these into walking sticks will likely take me quite some time, but when I get to it, at least I'll have stock. So now to clean them up, de-bark a few and set them to dry. Meanwhile, I'll try to get my wife to understand I haven't completely lost my mind.
I had the same problem with my wife when I prepared a pile of sticks last year... ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis year, I wlll have to use them to prove I didn't lost my mind ;-)))
Well, it's so nice of you to use these stray sticks for something very helpful. Better to make something useful than just throw them away. Walking sticks for everyone - why not? Let's just hope that your wife won't be too surprised at these piles of sticks. :)
