The Beast
Our new (to us) woodstove.We have fire! In a big, fat stove! Electricity-free! No more propane! Cheap fuel! Unless you count all the trekking and cutting and mauling and stacking. But still.
It's nice to know that if we get buried under twenty feet of snow (Oh, yes, it's been known to happen.), we won't freeze or starve to death. Merry Christmas. It could snow tomorrow.

With a pot on top. . .full of popcorn? Soup? Wassail? Just for looks?
We had a woodstove growing up. . .very cozy--
Just water and pumpkin pie spice, to keep the air moist. It's not working. I think we may have to get a humidifier.
Oh that sounds fun! Well, maybe... who has to cut the wood?
cold, dry air. . .it actually EXISTS somewhere in this land of ours????? You are monopolizing all of the cold, dry air in northern California. . .stop it. . .I will loan you some humidity (you actually PAY FOR THAT???) if you will loan me some cold, dry air. :)
J-- Well, the menfolk handle the cutting and chopping, and everybody helps with the stacking, even the little ones. The guys from church are all going out this weekend together. It makes them feel awfully manly.
R-- Yeah, we went from hot, dry air in Ojai to cold, dry air up here. For some reason, the cold air is harder on the kids' noses, so they keep getting nosebleeds. The fire makes it a little worse.
Wow. That thing looks vaguely familiar and brings back childhood memories.
...and, you might be able to find a construction company in your area that will give you their scrap wood for free.
