Two days ago I was wearing a tank top and flip flops. Today it's freezing. Okay, it's not the temperature where things actually freeze but it's coooooold!
We use our fireplace to heat the house all through the winter, which is not easy. Lots of wood chopping, wood hauling, fire stoking, ash clean-up, etc. We're happy that it helps keep our heating costs down but we're also happy when it gets warm enough in the spring so we can stop.
Man how time flies! The boys were excited to see me gathering wood this afternoon. They like to sit and "make their backs warm". No worries grandmothers...they are well aware of the dangers and behave accordingly.
It's warm and cozy now! But that fireplace won't be that clean again for a long time.
