Wood Warmth

Just had another cord of wood delivered…I am not sure how many cords we have went through this winter, close to 10 or more, but then it has been a windy one. Even though the sun is beginning to shine again it is still somewhat cold and we need to keep the fire stoked.

And the stockings were hung… We have a clothesline strung up by the woodstove. It’s a great place to dry mittens and stockings. I love the homey look of this picture.

woodstove

Our hard-working Jotul woodstove. We have some stove black on order from Lehmans and when it gets here the stove will be getting a good rub down. We have a smaller white enamel Jotul woodstove in our shop, if we ever move it’s coming with us…it’s just sooooo cute!

home fires sign

This neat sign was a gift from Hubby & the children a couple birthdays ago. It hangs above our hearth. While some of the Lower 48 is seeing clear signs of spring with green grass and blooming flowers, we still are keeping our home fires burning and watching the snow melt into mud. But then, seemingly overnight, the trees will bud, the air will smell sweet, and the flowers will burst forth!
