Fire Notes

I fear that some if my recent purchase of firewood may be too big for my little fireplace.



If his I'd really the first time I've put a huge piece in the box. It's resting on two me goin pieces that are parallel to rack other snc I tried to create space for a draft.



Badly focused but you can see the size.

I've turned down the furnace, and the fireplace fan just kicked on. It's cold and getting colder out, and I'm snug on a Friday night.

Hunkering down in December

Got just a couple of things done this weekend, better than nothing. Most importantly, I got firewood delivered. Now I have enough to make it through a long stretch of no heat or power. I had a little fire yesterday, and that got me motivated to go to Craig's list. The guy I called was able to make a run in just a couple of hours. The wood was dumped in the driveway, and I hauled it around into the dogs yard. I bought a new firewood frame and finished stacking it this morning.

I got the worst part of the front corner cleaned up. I cut down all the tall weeds starting under the spruce tree and carried on to the point of the curve, where I got distracted. I cut back the winter jasmine as well. It wasn't a lot of work but it definitely makes a difference.
