The chimney went through the roof today, and tomorrow we should be on our own with the new woodstove. It is a little disconcerting to have someone saw a hole through the house. It has been cold and dirty, and the guy finally made the call on the mantel today. It can stay. We hired the oddest cat to do the work, and it has been a strange month communicating with him. I think he is some sort of chimney savant. I think he may be one of the most interesting people I've ever met, and I liked talking to him about woodstoves. He has a Danish one that is chest high with an oven in it. I told him I wanted to wood fired bread oven in the backyard, and he told me about baking cornbread and sweet potatoes in his stove.
We had another snow on friday, two inches of powder, and it seemed warm today when it got up to thirty five degrees.
I can't wait to sit in front of a warm fire.
