    Raked the yard tonight and picked up a lot of junk from the wind storm a few weeks back now that almost all the snow is gone.

    So.....burning that stuff in the OWB along with it's normal diet.

    A small load of cherry will be going for the overnight burn, I think the temp will hit 37 tonight.

    That could explain why it is she who decides when the stove will be lit or not.



    No fire tonite ( although it is safe to do so )
    42ºF outside, still 70 in
    maybe a quick pine fire again in the morning because it may not be a sunny day

    We had 38 this morning.........more cherry in the liberty.

    Looking at our weather for next week, it looks like we go from winter to summer for a few days with temps in the low 70's.

    One quick burn of oil at 6:30AM and the kitchen has dropped from 71ºF to 70ºF at noon.
    It's 43ºF outside with a prediction of 50ºF but I don't think it will get there unless the sun comes out.
    Stove room is 63ºF though and I'm tempted to have a quick short pine fire but if the sun comes out we'll be opening windows on the south side of the house to breathe.
    I think I'll play the indecisive procrastination card, it'll only cost me 50-75¢ of HHo .
    Maybe go cut some maple in the bog if the flooded area will allow. Most of the rivers here are at or near flood stage.

    Current temp, a balmy 39° headed down to 32° tonight. Heavy rain in the forecast expected to bring flooding to many areas. Kinda wishing i didn't load the stove with as much ash and birch as i did since it won't get very cold tonight. Oh well, cracking windows will solve the problem. :)

    It's 38 out with the basement temp at 65 so I loaded up the liberty with more cherry for the overnight burn.

    It's been a long day, lunch at a diner in Norwood, inspection on the truck, shopping, coffee at Tim Horton's and then we took in a lacrosse game in Massena and on the way back we hit Sergi's for some pizza.

    Around 40 here and I lit a small fire this evening to warm the house for showers. I spent the whole day cutting trees and hauling the wood home now that the snow has receded. I'll post a thread soon.
