Getting Ready for Winter

Piles of chestnut hulls, and firewood piles in the background. Everywhere we went, we had a sense that people were getting ready for winter: in the next set, you’ll see piles of corn laid out to dry in a courtyard , presumably to feed animals for the winter. I love the idea that folks take good enough care to keep the chestnut hulls as kindling for fires: that’s good stewardship of resources, huh?
