Friday - September 26, 2003 at 03:37 AM inCrackling fire
Nothing beats a crackling fire on a fall evening.
Just before bed last night, I brought up some firewood. We have a fireplace in our master bedroom, and it is something I highly recommend. As an aside, when we bought our first house (over ten years ago), we had a fireplace in the living room. "Our next house," I declared to She Who Puts Up With Me, "will have a fireplace in the master bedroom." She didn't take this very seriously at the time, but I proved her wrong. As it happened, the firewood was dry enough to burn well, but had just enough moisture/sap/ant colonies to put on a crackling, hissing, popping show for a good 90 minutes. This is something gas fireplaces will never replicate. There's nothing quite like falling asleep, cuddling in front of a crackling blaze. Posted at 03:37 AM | Permalink | | | |
