Learning to Use The Wood Stove
My house came with a cute little wood burning stove.
Being the middle of summer I didn’t give it much thought. Coming from Florida, all I know about is air conditioning. But burning wood for heat? That means buying firewood, getting it home, cutting it up, and then stacking it. It means sweeping and cleaning ashes, and the figuring out what to do with the ashes. I needed to collect newspaper and kindling, and learn how to light a fire. Oh yes, and then there is the essential sweeping of the chimney.
My pioneer skills are poor at best. But, I am determined to make friends with my stove.

I love you work! We may have met briefly at the Pinon Hill Gallery during the progressive dinner. I told (you/someone) how much I liked their necklace - I remember the necklace but really not the person that well so it may not have been. But the necklace does interact with your work - and love of turquoise! Anyway, I also live on Navajo on Comanche Dr. I'd love to hear from you!
