Back in the summer of 2007 a bad storm blew through the area and a large tree was struck by lightning and toppled in our backyard. We had a lot of cleanup work to do (and for those of you who have seen my backyard, I know you are saying "Clean up?! You call that cleaning up back there?!?") and a lot of wood to split. Which Tony did, leaving a huge pile of wood. A while later, when I was pregnant with Jacob I had a nesting urge and I took the entire pile of split wood and stacked it. I think I had a total of 6 huge stacks by the time I was done. We burned a little of the wood the winter of 2008 and some in 2009, but for the most part it sat, housed a gazillion bugs and rotted.
Then the Blizzard of 2011 was forecasted. And people went crazy. Freaked out. Bought all the banana's in Publix. The bread isle, empty. Frozen pizzas, gone. Want some poultry? Only chicken thighs left (and for good reason). All this hysteria, grocery hoarding, topping off tanks gave me a great idea:

And once again, people came and paid me money to haul away trash in my backyard. Craig's List is the best invention ever. Next to chocolate. And Cherry Coke. And those Glad trashbags that don't rip.
Next listing: USED TIRES! Don't tell Tony. Ha!
