had the fireplace channel on while I was writing my blog last night and was reminded of all the lovely fires we have had over the years…
my beloved loved wood fires and would often fall asleep in front of the fire in the basement family room… it was always difficult to start but he would use the vacuum to get the smoke to start up the chimney…
I haven’t used it since he died and last year had to have the chimney removed as it was rusting from the inside… didn’t seem worth the cost of replacing all of the pieces..
sometimes I miss it…
