Hungry Fire

The wood stove has been going through a fair amount of wood lately. We've been running it most mornings and evenings, often with a cat or two stretched out in front of it, and I usually let it burn until lunch time. If the sun's out it warms up in here after that. On rare gray cloudy days I try to keep it going all day. Construction debris has been supplying us with all the wood we need most days but occasionally we run out and look around for things to burn. The "barn", our former movable chicken pen, bit the bullet yesterday morning and has been contributing to the warmth. Actually I am glad to see it gone from the back yard, as it has been getting more and more decrepit lately. Who know? Maybe the stump next.....
