Amazing another 2 posts in one day

Tonight I set the first fire in the wood stove - the wind is from the north and the living room is on the north side of the house - It is just a small fire to acclimate the stove and take the chill off but it is a fire. Not to mention I get to burn a bunch of credit card offers and other mail you don't want to throw in the dump.

It feels wonderful -- I do love winter and wood stoves and I really love getting rid of that mail like this...

Call me crazy, but I love it when the wind gets wild. There's lots of energy in it!

Hi Rho

Thankfully it's not that cold here yet - although I love the idea of a wood burner. Take care, stay warm and keep your spoons for when you really need them.
I found that story really useful for explaining how I feel to loved ones.

Hooray, you have officially gotten Red Flannel Fever and built a fire in the home. It's chilly at night but if we lit off the fireplace we'd have to stand outside to enjoy it.

Enjoy that new stove! Will you make soup, or a love potion, on top of it?

Hi Rho,

Yes, I am TOTALLY exhausted! It didn't help that my flight was delayed for three hours -- didn't get home until 1 am! What a fun weekend we had! :-)

Hello!

Thanks for the compliment about the basket. Aren't they darling?

We've had a couple of fires since October, but it's too warm for them now. I love cold windy wet Novembers and bright sunny Februaries Februarys Februfaries

Aww shucks. Still pretending to be here and not knitting somewhere else.
