Mike Raykovicz: From ash to ashes — making something of a sad situation

I’ll freely admit there’s not much for me to do this time of year. Other than a fishing trip to Canada a week ago, the only thing I have to look forward to before preparing for archery season in October is cutting firewood.
We have a small wood stove in our family room that keeps everyone and everything toasty warm when temperatures fall into the teens or lower, but it needs fuel. That’s where the wood-cutting chore comes in. The woodlots and field edges on my friend’s farm contain large numbers of ash trees, and they are all dead.
