Tossing Pebbles in the Stream

This blog is my place to sit and toss pebbles into the stream. The stream of Life relentlessly passing before us. We can affect it little. For the most part I just watch it passing and follow the flow. Occasionally, I need to comment on its passing, tossing a pebble at it to enjoy the ripple affect upon Life's surface.

First Snow

It seem this morning we had the first snowfall start which might actually accumulate on the ground.

Just in time I finished moving my firewood into the basement.

The firewood fills one quarter of the basement.

My homemade wood furnace.

My beloved L'lslet cookstove. which will get a good cleaning, chrome polishing and blacking before I regularly use it.

It is currently snowing. There is a flock of Canada geese in the snowy first just behind the trees.

Beautiful snow... even more beautiful is your old stove! How I miss mine!

Congrats on getting all your wood moved. Does this mean you won't be running out on your porch in your underwear this year to grab a stick or two to get the fire going in the morning?
