November 23rd: I Am Thankful for Wood

I had never lived in a home with wood heat until I moved into my present home. I have come to love the warmth of wood heat. We have been blessed with donations of free wood. We have been able to use wood from our own property. JEJ has also gone out to cut wood for us to burn. All this wood provides our home with heat. It was 9 degrees when I arrived home today. I loved that the house was 77degrees. Wood heat takes the chill out of your bones, it warms up cold feet, and puts a blush in your cheeks. The animals love to gather around the stove. I sit close by and feel content and a bit sleepy. I can endure frigid temperatures much, much better sitting close to a wood stove, especially when both of ours are warming up the house tonight.
