    Stove was on most mornings to get the chill out. But off in the warmer evenings. Only used a bag of pellets last week and 4 so far for May. Enjoying the coolness before the heat zonks us.........

    52ºF this AM. Hoping this is the last week of burning, But will keep it on stand by until mid June JIC.

    Still burning here. Burn for comfort, not calandar. Of course we like to be not burning, and able to save our pellets. This year, the weather is not cooperation. Unseasonable cool May. Garden is going in, but not sure about how fast things will grow in these conditions.
