I miss the wood burning fire place but we burn plenty of wood outdoors. Not splitting required though. I was fortunate enough to have both indoor plumbing and taken for granted heat as a child, but my husband has a different story.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07435370349554811512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496213195434238095.post-9942978741410085202012-11-06T11:21:33.538-08:002012-11-06T11:21:33.538-08:00The energy released from the wood as it burns has ...The energy released from the wood as it burns has been gathered from the heavens and stored in the plant/wood since the little tree sprout first took hold.

NOt quite so nostalgic about pumpin' water though! I was so happy when I graduated from a knife for shaving kinlin to a small hatchet and then an honest to god axe! So much so I am contemplating getting a wood cookin' stove for the covered patio to cook on again. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09602511849713822619noreply@blogger.com
