Cleaning the Fireplace

Cleaning the Fireplace

*******Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel******* I’ve officially given up on a roaring fire for the next few months….. …..or more….. It’s hard feeling in the mood for a roasty/toasty fire when it’s in the 90’s or above ….. Before cleaning out the ashes for the coming summer….. …..I was able to eke in a couple small morning fires recently this last week….. It actually got down to 58F degrees one night….. …..my rule is……..

To And Froe…….

I want one of these things… *****A Froe***** Why won’t my computer let me type this word? It’s a real word… *****Froe Definition***** It has a real definition… Froe.  Froe.  Froe.  Froe.  Froe.  Froe.  Froe.  Froe… …..I want one. …….we’ve previously established that I am a not-so-latent pyromaniac… …….I just like fires and smoke…….I don’t like to burn important things…….except for maybe my fingers & (on occasion) my eyebrows… I currently smell like smoke from working with my bees this…

Designer Logs

Designer Logs

  Esther gave me a fireplace log-in-a-bag. Who knew!?!             Ignitable logs in bags(?) ……………..Esther handed it to me in a Dillard’s bag (hence the “designer log” name/Esther shops at Dillard’s a lot/I’m more of a GoodWill shopper). The log had extensive, multi-lingual directions. It told me what to do and warned me against the obvious. Of course, I ignited it immediately and started it burning.   The darn thing even had a burning duration…

First Fire

First Fire

  Last year I think our first fire in our fireplace was earlier. It could have been earlier this year…………if I had just gotten everything organized a little sooner. I have been accumulating palmetto sticks and wood piles and brush piles all over this property………………in anticipation of burning them when it gets close to cold enough. Good wood; bad wood; aged wood; wet wood; green wood……………..I’ll burn anything……………(but, no pine). (Pyromaniacs are like that…)   The wood’s out there…………………it beckons…

Irma’s Clean-Up———On & On & On

Irma’s Clean-Up———On & On & On

Everyone is tired.  There’s still more to do…………..there’s always more to do.  Everything would be so much easier if this was all happening in November’s cooler/dryer weather.  But the temperature is in the 90’s and the humidity level has got to be 246%+.  If it weren’t for all of the suspended, microbial algae in the air—–this could probably qualify for an expensive spa/steam-room treatment…………..but you can’t charge for this soggy treat.  My lungs are an agar-filled, petri dish for the…
