Our gas fireplace does a good job of heating the house. We run it for an hour in the morning and the house stays warm all day. But it doesn't <I>smell</I> like a real fire, you know?<BR/><BR/>So I will live virtually through you. <BR/><BR/>But my next house, though, WILL have a wood-burning fireplace, or there will be WORDS. And not any good ones.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504919254472519754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-30433673146132957402008-10-11T13:33:00.000-04:002008-10-11T13:33:00.000-04:00Good Heavens, the yellow jackets are AWFUL this ye...Good Heavens, the yellow jackets are AWFUL this year!groovyoldladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07971936982658984234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-20862866918781660292008-10-10T16:07:00.000-04:002008-10-10T16:07:00.000-04:00Has your Daughter read the Christopher Peloni book...Has your Daughter read the Christopher Peloni books? Mine raves about them and is impatiently waiting for the last book. *G* <BR/>I miss having a fireplace and we have thought of installing one here, but it would have to be gas and that's such a pain to install in an existing home. *sigh* And like your neighbor, I like the smell of wood burning. *G* <BR/><BR/>I hope you have a wonderful weekend. No plans here except to enjoy it. *G*Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738504696243512495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-63154006772019370852008-10-10T13:24:00.000-04:002008-10-10T13:24:00.000-04:00I love the smell of a woodstove.

When we moved to NH from Mpls. my father bought a chain saw and went crazy in our 12 acres of woods. We'd spend hours hauling logs out of the woods during the summer.

I look at it and see warmth!<BR/><BR/>Congrats on your submissions. Sending good thoughts your way on them!<BR/><BR/>This weekend we're going to do some yardwork.
