susandennisCleared away all the work. Cleaned up the kitchen. Seriously giving thought to taking down the garbage.
But first... let's have a little fireplace fire. It's been a long time.
Last year they closed off the chimneys while they did work on the roof. So no fires. And, of course, it did not take the 4 weeks they said. It took four months to finish - actually 6 before they got through and by then, it was hot weather.
Today, it's drippy and chilly and gray and perfect fireplace weather.
I used to be a fireplace snob. I can build an excellent fire with logs and newspapers. When I moved in here - that first winter - I got a 1/4th cord of wood delivered. That summer the bugs stayed. The next year I bought wood in bundles from the grocery store. The next year I bought presto logs and I've been using them ever since. No muss. No fuss. Easy and nice.
I'm sure enjoying it today.
