This morning's fire

Quality of life, right there.

I'm reduced to burning scrap, but even so it still makes a nice heat.  Mrs. CW also likes the rush sound a well prepared fire makes when you first set it off, and the pops it makes after getting going.

    1. I recall those days. The air - particularly the night air - was yellow and thick like a fog.

    2. In contrast to that, if I could get to the top of the chimney here, I'd hover right over it and breathe deep the wonderful campfire smell a good wood fire makes.

  2. Dang, sure miss having a woodstove, even though we cut and split 8 cords to keep us thru the winter.
